' 1 . -THE LIGHT" wmm At the Theatre Nest Cast Blanchette Dumonde Theda Bara Chabin Eugene Ormonde Etienne Desechette... Robert Walker Auchat George Renevant Jeanette Florence Martin 'The wickedest woman in Paris" they call her. She is Blanchette Dumonde, who leads a life of gayety and revelry while that great city is sacrificing everything for the great cause. One day when Blanchette and her protector, Chabin, are drinking to their joy and love, a young sculptor, Etienne, slips a note into the hand of the beautiful woman. It read: "Mile., something in your face haunts me. Would you consent to pose for my statue of the Madonna?" She shows the note to Chabin, who grows red with anger and orders the sculptor to b$ thrown out of the restaurant. But the appeal of the times for woman's goodness cannot leave Blanchette absolutely cold. She goes to a hospital, planning to enlist as a nurse. At the first mention of her name, however, the head of the hospital turns upon the infamous woman and commands her to leave at once. After this rebuff, Blanchette becomes more wicked than ever. In one of the underground resorts she meets an Apache dancer, Auchat, and becomes infatuated with him. Chabin's fury does not abate her ardor. Matters come to a crisis when Chabin finds Auchat in his mistress' apartment, but the dancer fells Blanchette's protector with a candlestick. While he is lying unconscious Blanchette and Auchat make their escape, planning to live in an out-of-the-way hamlet. But at the railway station Blanchette deserts Auchat. For she sees a trainload of returning soldiers and among them she recognizes Etienne, the young sculptor, who has been blinded. With him she flees to a little cottage on the outskirts of Paris, determined to' become worthy of this hero's love. Etienne does not know it is "the wickedest woman in in Paris" who nurses him back to health, until he passes his hand over her face and thus recognizes her. Then he begs her to pose for his statue of the Madonna. Auchat trails Blanchette to her refuge and comes to kill Etienne. Blanchette foils the assassin by killing Auchat. At the same time Chabin appears, seeking vengeance. In the little cottage a great change comes i>ver the former lover of the wickedest woman in Paris. He sees her happy in her love for the sculptor; he sees Auchat dead at his feet. A more noble impulse than that for revenge calls to him. He tells Etienne he must go to the police to report that he has killed a thief. Blanchette's face becomes transfigured as, seated beside Etffenne, she watches Chabin go to heap the burden of her crime upon his own shoulders. By this time you should know what talented Theda Bara can make of a role of this type. As the siren of Paris she is the very soul of feminine allurment. Her gowns are daring and add to this effect. As the woman whom war has humbled Miss Bara is transformed into the woman she naturally is--a lovable thing of beauty, gentle and charming as a full blown rose. ' ,• % OSTBND I sell farms. D. F. Quinlan. No school this week. Teachers an all attending institute., . Orvil Hutson of Chicago has been the guest of his uncle, C. B Durkee, and family for several days.
