credit the . original, at the .Longacre
theatre, N. "ST., where It ran for one
straight, year to capacity attendance
at every performance. ;
it . is a play ' of continuous laughter
throughout ' its three genuinely fanny
acts, and at the same time possesses
a story of "broadly comic interest, as
well as theme and characters, and yet
it is at every point intellectually writ
ten and plausible, Illustrating the ex

aroused between the partners, caused
by "Florence Cole, a "very attractive
part for Miss Spooner. This brilliant
farce is tne work -of Edward Peple,
"The Littlest Rebel" and other hits.
PLAZA
s
With so talented and noted a star
as Helen Ware in the leading role,v
one would imagine that almost any
photoplay could gain recognition and
the fact that so remarkable a vehicle
as "Cross Currents was used to af
ford the famous actress unlimited
opportunities for the display of her
talents' only added steam to the en
thusiasm displayed by the audiences
at the Plaza's opening performances
yesterday. Miss Ware's charming
buoyancy and fascinating manner
made you feel her very presence on
the screen. . She Is seen in a series
of costumes appropriate to the differ
ent occasions in the career of a Wash
ington scciety belle but in the scenes
on the dissert island wher she appears
in an improvised wardrobe, she loses
none of her magnetism. The story
of the play in which she is starred is
a most impelling one and it holds in
terest to the finish. ., ;
Weber and Fields, those masters of
mirth whose wonderful talents have
long" ago won them headline positions
on the roll of fame, are doing some
of the. most laughable work of their
careers in the latest Triangle Key

DeWolf and DeForest,.. a very clev

headline feature attraction at Kee
ney's Empire this ' evening and, to
morrow. Miss Plckf ord's talented , character
izations of , many different roles has
been recognized by critics of the
screen throughout the country but
as the little girl who is left but
that would be telling half the story of
this delightful tale and spoiling the
story for those who are eager to witt

All that is necessary to say is that
the story is one that appeals to one

As usual an all feature program

800.600 MEN ARE
FIGHTING FIERCELY ON
RUSSO-RUMANIAN FRONT
Paris, Jan. 7 Fighing on the Rus
sian front near the Rumanian frontier
is fast growing in intensity and as
suming great ferocity, says the Petro
grad correspondent of the Havas
Agency in a despatch filed Wednes
day," .. . '
Despatches from Kiev declare that
the' noise of .cannon can be heard
along a distance of 36 miles and that
windows in all the villages in this re
gion have been broken by the con
cussions.' The battle is raging with
particular fury on the Tarnopol-Trem-bowla
front, where more than 800,
000 men With 3,500 cannon are incess
antly engaged. Long Austro-German
Red Cross trains are leaving this front
daily for more remote and thinly pop
ulated towns where; hospitals" have
teen organized.
Wounded Russian officers reported
the consequences of this battle are
already being shown in certain sectors
by the blowing in of first line German
trenches and the slow but irresistible
progress of Russian forces. The same
officers tell of enormous difficulties the'
Russians have had to. surmount on
this front where entanglements of
barbed wire are often laid 24 deep and
charged with - powerful electric cur
rents supplied from stations especially
erected. - .
As immediate apprdach to these
entanglements is impossible, the Rus
sian soldiers have invented the follow
ing methods of surmounting the diffi
culty: Good marksmen fling ropes
with hooks at the ends over the barb
ed wire, then , pull nntil they have
broken one of the lines of wire and
continue this method until the whole
entanglement is removed:
