The story, adapted from the fiction cf F Scott Fitzgerald and published orig inally as "Head and Shoulders" in The tion BOYAWTHE DEVIL'S PASS K3EY The-gay life of Paris has been de picted with unusual realism by "Erich von Stroh'eim in his latest Universal Jewel production, "The Devil's Pass Key," .which will be shown last times today at 'the Royal. Mr. von Stroheim has inserted great realism into his new play. The race scenes at the famous Grand Prix are exceptional, showing the horses in a ! close finish and giving views . of the 1 crowds of fashionably dressed "men and' women in' the grand stands. , Sam de- Grasse, who played the jiusT band in von Stroheim's recent success, "Blind Husbands," has a , similar part in "The Devil's Pass Key," that 'of an I author living with his extravagant but uusopnisticaiea wiie in .fans, sne runs, up a largd bill at the shop of an un scrupulous' mddiste, who suggests that she get a rich admirer to pay her bills. A young American army officer helps the wife, but not on the basis expected by the modiste. The husband hears tha story but has no idea who the princi pals are. He makes it the subject of a play which is a great success. Later he learns that It is his own wife whose indiscretions he has put upon the stage. The climax of the photoplay has" been remarkably handled . by Director von Stroheim. Most creams are -injurious when used habitually. .They , clog the : pores and eventually form a permanent, soggy, stifling, film ; which interferes with eltmina'tive action and makes.. the skin sickly and . pasty, There Is an applica tion mercollzed wax which acts upon an entirely different principle. While perfectly harmless,; it his the" peculiar property- of rempvlng by .absorption the. dead and half-dead particles of scarf-skin, as well as unhealthy matter in the pores. Thus it takes away . from instead of adding to the complexion, differing in this respect from cosmetics. The result is a perfectly natural and healthy young complexion. Mercolized wax, procurable at any drug store (one ounce is sufficient) is applied at night like cold cream and washed off in the morning. The correct principle in the treat ment of wrinkles is to tighten the skin, which naturally irons out the lines. A face bath, remarkably effective in this direction, may be made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half-pint witch hazel. (Adv.) VIOLA DANA :THE CBORUSGIRL'S WDMANCE"; At The Grand Again Today Saturday Evening Post, has to do with an odd romance between a chorus girl, whose show is trying out in New Ha ven, and Horace Tarbox, a prodigy in scholarship. It seems that some of Hor ace's more worldly friends persuaded ilarcia to go to his college rooms and see what would happen. What did hap pen is not what either .Marcia or Hor ace or Horace's friends or even the audience imagined. The - consequent events form one of the freshest and sprightliest and most human' stories seen on the screen of the picture the ater in many a day. , Percy Heath is responsible for the deft scenario, William C. Dowlan for direction, John Arnold for the photog raphy of the picture, and special art interiors of merit were designed by A. E. Freuderman. . ' Chief in support with Miss Dana ia Oareth Hughes as Horace, and others intrusted with Important parts in the photoplay are: Phil Ainsworth, Wil liam Qulnn, Jerre Sundin, Sidney De Orey, Lawrence Grant, Tom Gallery, Kdward Jobson, Martyn Best, Anna Shaefer, Dorothy Gordon, William r.Iong. - VICTORfA BRIDE 13 Today again the Victoria gives the iady patrons an opportunity to' see the third chapter of the great William Fox serial, "Bride 18," without payment of any -kind other than the government war tax.

The motion pic ture producers say that no 'stories lend themselves so admirably to 'production on the screen as do - the . humorous works of the Inimitable Mark Twain "Huek and Tom" and "Tom Sawyer" were earlier photoplay 'Successes.
