THE first American officer to
enter the "redeemed" city of
Strassbourg was a motion pic
ture actor, Robert Warwick, who
.'was-with the American expedition
; ary forces, and has since been pro
moted as major in the United States
'army reserve. Major Warwick
(lays the leading role of "Secret
Service," William Gillette's great
war play, which lias been picturized
. n a Paramount-Artcraft special an J
which is to be shown at the Rialto
today.
Major Warwick was at the front
for more than a year, and. lie has
brought back an imposing array of
- war trophies trench helmet?,
"dress" helmets, battered by hard
!evice; rifles and revolvers the Ger
? mans used. He was in all the "big
shows" real fights, this time dur
v ing his term of frontier service be
fore he was transferred back to this
country for some special work in
May. Going over, a ship in front of
his transport was sunk by a German
submarine, and coming back his own
vessel sank a U-boat. He was on
the general staff for a long term
of work. He hadn't missed a thing,
.he reported gayly, when he got back.
"I want to say," Major Warwick
went on, "that the bravery of the
motion picture cameraman was a
. credit to the movies. Those boys
fctUck to their cameras through the
worst of it, just as if they were
hack at the studio filming a staged
battle scene. Many brave 'grind
ers' will never turn a camera crank
again. One, boy was found dragging-
hiniself through No-man's-land
and several hours after a big
'show' had ended, tugging his cam
eras which contained some 'great
shots', and faint from the loss of
blood in his three wounds."
"Secret Service" is not a war play
in the strict sense of the word.
There are no pitched battles, no
booming of cannon and bursting of
shrapnel. The tremendous drama
of the play is laid largely in the
Yarney home in Richmond, at a
. time when the southern capital was
besieged by the federal forces.
The Omaha Bee's Universal
Screen Magazine No. 27, which
starts at the Muse theater today,
contains a series of eight interest
ing: items.

To recover from the wounds of
the Hunnish bullets and the nause-

a prisoner for life through the darts
or one uan cupia, was tne experi
ence of Ted Brooks, a daring cow
boy, who supports Harry Carey.
In the early .days of the vwar
Brooks enlisted with the Canadian
forces and within a few weeks saw
Vimy Ridge. There he fell a vic
tim of a German sniper. He was
seht back to a Canadian hospital
and was tenderly nursed back to

HARRY Graham of ye oiae ana
ancient exchange of Pathe, is
all smiles when one mentions
"The Great Gamble," the newest of
their serials. It is now playing at
,13 suburban houses. He's not super-
ctitiniK in thf least, in fact it IS
his lucky number. They do say on
the Ria!to that he is getting big
hooking for the latest Creighton
Ha e oicture. "ihe Itnrteentn
Chair."
"Yankee Doodle in Berlin." and
the famous bathing beauties of
Mack Sennett fame, are on the way
from New York, to this city, and
when they arrive, we may find that
some of the boys will lose their
hearts, as they are simply stunning.
They are all westerners, and, say,
we can claim that we have some
beauties in the west, and these are
the pick. You 11 all go and just sit
and admire them. I'll be there too,
to feast my eyes on the smart and
pretty girls from the Pacific toast.
Mary MacLauren is one of the
prize raconteurs of Universal City,
her favorite type of stories being
kiddie jokes that deal with the films
Here is her latest:
A little boy said to his mother:
"I want a dime to give a lame
man." '
"You shall have it, dear. And who
is the lame man?" asked his mother.
"Oh, he's the doorkeeper at the
mcvie show," was the youngster's
reply.
Release of Louise Glaum's great
est photodrama "Sahara," has been
announced.
Jack Mower is resting, not be
cause he is without" job or salary,
but because he is waiting for the
next Wayne Mack comedy-drama
to commence. Mower will be placed
under contract by Mr. Mack, it is
said.
Visitors at Luna Park, Coney
Tsland, were given an unusual treat
when they had a chance to watch
Elsie Janis, now a Selznick-Pic-tures
star, and her supporting com
pany, being filmed in a series of
xJnne LuthQr
Bills for the Current Week
Sim "A White Man's Chance," with J.

RIALTO "Secret Service.' with Robert
Warwick, who has doffed the khaki and
temporarily wears the blue of the federal
and the butternut of the confederate serv
ice in this picture, plays the role made
famous by Mr. Gillette. Caught In a des
perate situation, in his efforts to betray
Richmond into the hands of the Union
army, the hero is saved by a Southern
girl who has learned to love him. This
is not, however, a war play with shot and
shell flying thickly; but a tense human
story of a few people involved in a net
work as the result of secret service in its
most dramatic sense. In the supporting
cast ore found many favorites. Wanda
Hawley, beautiful and talented, is Edith
Varney, the heroine, playing opposite Ma.1.
Robert Warwick. Others in the cast are
Theodore Roberts, Raymond Hatton, Irv
ing Cummings, Casson Ferguson, Kdythe
Chapman and Guy Oliver..

And if somo other hour! became too
iaiinti..r wuh the captain, she, too, would
die, and the captain also, for Fanina loved
in a fien-eand primitive way. The Orkin
Bros, offer six prizes totalling $100 in
value for the best criticism!". This is a
very good method of finding out the

as they know the possibility In getting
good results.

Give Kaiser to Vampire,
Theda Tiara's Sug
gestion. BY THEDA BARA.
Everything from depopulating
Hades by sending the kaiser
there has been suggested as the
most fitting judgment the world
could pronounce on its greatest
criminal.
But I believe there is a better
solution of this interesting case.
Mr. Hohenzollern should have a
lingering death. He should be
made the prey of a full-fledgeil
1919 vampire.
Strange, isn't it, that when the
demon who so long terrorized
mankind finally was forced to
flee his throne and country, he
took refuge in a land over which
a queen rules? Shajl we call it
hiding behind petticoats?
Men have put the Wrmc
kaiser temporarily out of the
way. Then why not let a'wyoman
a real artist in shaping men's
destinies, finish the job?
I would suggest placing him on
a remote island with another
man and a vampire. That's all
that would be necessary. The
kaiser himself would do the rest
and society would have nothing
with which to reproach itself.
Opportunity knocks at your doer
every time you read The Bee Want

The Fighting Star
THAT world-famous drama of the Civil
War, " Secret Service," is now a Paramount-Artcraft
Special.
And the star is an American soldier who
fought in France, Major Robert Warwick,
a member of General Pershing's Staff.
This is the play that won success in all the
capitals of the world, that made William
Gillette, both as author and star.
Hugh Ford is the director and he has
assembled a wonderful cast.
Robert Warwick's acting will thrill you
by its sharp revelation of the terrible
actualities of the work of a military secret
service man.
Secret Service is not a war pie
ture. War is the background out
scent service is the plot and when
yousee ityouwill realire that noth
ing that has k-ppened in Europe
can dim the heroisms of the Intelli
gence Department in the 60's.
