The High Cost of Living.

Post says that the vitagraph shows-tbe
and 10 cent moving picture theaters-
are largely responsible for the high cost
Of living He thinks they get the cream
Of the poor mans income-that which
should constitute his surplus fund.
This seems rather strange when it is
remembered that not so very long ago
the Eigh-price theaters were complaining
that the vitagraph theaters were the
things responsible for a large falling off
in high-price theater receipts.
Having slowed down on the s.. 80 and
81 shows in favor OF the 5-cent and 10
cent shows, must the plain people now
slow down on the latter in favor of the
free shows-such as they are? Shall the
