Bradley Theatre.
zudora, Successor 10 Million Dollar
 Mystery

Beginning Wednesday and Thurs day, Dec. Is and IT, the Bradley will present the first installment of Iudora, a successor 10 the Million Dollar Mys- tery, heralded as one of the most ab- sorbingly interesting photoplays ever put on the screen.
 It is product of the Farmhouse r. Mutual jim Corporation and success sor to The Million Dollar Mystery. Dr. Daniel Carson Goodman is the author Of the new serial, which will be releas- ed in two reel episodes. Every episode will be story complete in itself.
 Harold MacGrath, who novelized Kathlyn and The Million Dollar Mys- tery will write the fiction version of Zudora. Dr. Goodman, through The Escape, The Battle of the Sexes and the Averaging Conscience, all Broad way successes, has definite value to the exhibitor booking IHdora. MT. MacGrath's name is so well known that it is unnecessary to enlarge upon his merits.
 In Zudora will be more scenes than in all the plays of the bard of Avon, in itself distinction. The title of the first episode gives an idea of the mystic ,heme on which Zudora is predicated. The Mystic Message of the Spotted Col lar is the title of the first release A cast of three principals will run through the twenty episodes. They are to be supported by 900 people, a construction never before attempted in photoplay production or, for that mat ter, on the speaking stage.
 Marguerite Snow, whose Countess Olga in The Million Dollar Mystery has cemented her in the hearts of ma. tion's motion picture fans, will play Zudora. She is wonderfully fitted for the role, which will give her admirers the opportunity to see this remarkable young woman at her best, the role de manding the complete gamut of emo tions and more definite histrionie ability than is the usual requirement James Cruze, reporter hero in The Million Dollar Mystery, will play Hasaam Ali, weird oriental charae ter around whose mysticism revolve' much of the story. Harry Benham whose work as a Tanhouser leading man is well known, will play Johr Storm, the young lover of Zudora. adN

BUSINESS BRISK
Ar FARM MARKET

Business at the county farm market,
corner of Fourteenth street and Fourth
avenue. was unusually brisk this morn
ing, and everything was disposed of in
remarkably short time. John Lee
was in charge assisted by w. A. Gold
en- and Fred Grafiund
Statements to the effect that Mr..
Lee has paid farmers more for butter
and eggs than other dealers are false,
according to his own word, for he
claims that the stand pays the regu-
lar dealers prices for these products.
Some things of this kind are purchas-
ed for the customers, as the county
farm cannot supply enough to meet
the demand. All vegetables, however,
are raised on the county farm and the
money cleared goes toward making
the institution self-sustaining. The
meat sold at the market here is also
secured from the farm.
Receipts from the market during the
time that it has been running have
averaged around the 800 mark each
day. Business is always good and the
prices are exceptionally low.
