GUARD OF HONOR
HOMED
MONTE CARLO. May 9.—The old
Guard of Honor of the Prince of Mon
aco, four officers and 82 men, which
constituted the military force of the
principality in pre-war times, has
disappeared since the European war
came, for the whole gendarmerie of
Monaco was recruited from abroad, and
the numbers were all either French
men or Italians. They have now been
called to the colors of their respective
ei.iintr’eo. so that neutral Monaco
fc.und itself suddenly without adequate
protection. Then the people volun
teered for service, but to prove their
independence, as well as their dislike
for militarism, they wear ro uniform,!
merely their ordinary civilian costume
and a red and white woolen armlet.
In front of the main entrance to the
palace stands a sentry, a 16 year old
boy leaning on an old pattern rifle, its
fixed bayonet towering several feet
above his head. He is dressed in a
nondescript tweed suit, very baggy at
the knees, and wears no cartridge belt,
merely the red and white armlet.
Yet. Monaco is not entirely neutral.
Many of its youth have entered the
French Foreign Legion, and the heir-
THE ALCAZAR
William S. Hart and House Peters
in the “Between Men" are at the Al
cazar Wednesday.
William S. Hart, the popular actor of
wild west roles, makes a novel appear
ance as a westerner who dons evening
clothes and is quite at his ease in
metropolitan society in the new Ince-
Triangle play “Between Men,’’ to be
seen at the Alcazar Theatre tomorrow.
To make the contrast more vivid Hart
is first seen wearing the wide Stetson,
the buckskin shirt and corduroy
trousers of a mining man. Then he
comes to New York to the rescue of a
friend who is in the toils of a Wall
street operator.
Hart then changes to the attire of
society when he appears at the home
of his friend and meets his charming
daughter, played by Enid Markey.
Hart seems as much at ease with his
d r ess suit and patent leathers as he
did when he was in rougher and more
unconventional garb. He is still the
cool westerner, ready for anything and
everything that may happen. Miss
Markey is delightful to look upon, her
dark beauty being set off effectively by
filmy garments in the latest mode.

THE TRANSGRESSOR IT
OPERA HOUSE THURSDAY
“The Transgressor’’ at the Opera
House, one day only, Thursday, May
11th, as a movie comedy, melo drama,
written by Minnie Mae Turley, and
abounds with heart interest and com
edy situations galore. A brief synopsis
of the picture, which was made by the
Manhattan Motion Picture Co., of New
York City, is as follows:
Cliff Wheatley (the villian) and
J. G. Holst (the hero) are both in love
with Miss Mary Elza Sheppard (the
heroine); Miss Maude Sherlock, (the
villianess., meantime having a leap
year affinity for Holst. After various
attempts to excite the jealousy of Miss
Sheppard and Holst against each other
and failing, Miss Sherlock and Wheat
ley combine forces and decoy Miss
Sheppard to an old deserted cabin,
through a forged note saying “her
sweetheart was wounded,” and there at
the cabin Wheatley meets Miss Shap
f.ard, the idea being to stage a scene
for the benefit of Holst, who Miss
Sherlock inveigles into the same place.
Lewis Morgan, the assistant villian in
the guise of a chauffeur convevys Miss
Sheppard to the cabin and everything
seems to be working fine. But the mis
creants fumble, spill the beans and
Miss Sheppard and Holst escape more
loving than ever, and are soon wed.
The villian and his assistant are chased
out of town by a crowd of young men,
who were beginning to get a little
rough when the police arrive.
The comedy part of the story is real,
true comedy, and is most enjoyable.
Dan. Chappell, as "Jasper,” the grocery
boy, and J. N. Smitherson, as “Fuller
Prunes," will hand you as many laughs
as Charlie Chaplin, and Miss Thelma
Bragg, as “Peggy,” the maid, is a sec
ond addition of the famous “Sis Hop
kins.”
Then, there is the Baby Show, etc.,
which was made on the lawn of the
postoffice, and the Maypole Dance,
which was made at the schools, and
other pictures.
