GRAND OPERA HOUSE

TWO BIG i<MATURES. The William Fox special, ''The Spy System," will be tiio next J. C. Williamson attraction at the (.irand Opera House, and ilio season is scheduled lu start ■)!! Monday week, February -1. "Tho Spy System" is a war play which is said to get away from the usual noise ami melodrama so commonly associated with productions of this kind. In the entire length of the picture not a single battle scene is flashed on the screen. The thread of the story is concerned more with the intricacies of international relations-and the revelations of diplomatic episodes with which the public is unfamiliar. Dustin Fariium takes the role of an indolent young American, who goes to Germany in order to obtain a list of the Imperial Government's spies in the United States. He runs into every sort of danger and takes his life into his hands more than once. In the end, however, ho gains the list he has wanted. In addition to "The Spy System" the first of the William Fox "kiddie" scries, "Balws in the Wood," will be screened. "Babes in the Wood" is described as -i, photo-fantasy for children from 8 to RO.. and features little Francis Carpenter and Virginia Lee Corhin, who are refuted to he the screen's cleverest child artists.
