SUGAR NEWS.

The opinion Is spreading
amongst the Louisiana sugar pro
ducers that it ia time they ought
to know what the attitude of the
Sugar Trust will be this year
They feel that unless q satisfacto
ry understanding is arrived At
with the American Sugar Refining
COMPANY very soon, immediat,
steIs should be taken by the
planters to develop other plans
for dlspOslDg Of their 1916 test sn
gar production. A satisfactory
understanding means the payment
of the New York price and moth
ing less than that will satisfy the
Louisiana sugar producers. Some
thing definite with regard to sell.
ing arrangements will very proba
oily be made known either this
week or next week. The planters
are agreed that the time to act
with regard to this important
problem Is at hand.
More plantation graduated gu.
gar will be made this year than
ever before. This is indicated by
rel Orts from all sections of the su-
gar belt. The tendency towards
increasing the amount of planta
ton granulated this season is very
pronounced and was one of the
features of the week in Louisiana
sugar circles.

HYPOCRISY" AT THE
 ROYAL Is EXPOSURE
 OF SOCIAL SHANMING
Fox Feature, With Virginia Pearson in Leading Role, Is Great Treatise Upon inc Presenf-daY Social Shans.


 Virginia Pearson already has come into the fore of motion picture stars, her rare beauty of distinctive Ameri- can type combining in her success with 8 dramatic instinct rarely found in so young an actress. In her role in the William Fox photodrama lily pocrisy." which appears at the Royal today and tomorrow. an expose of the shams of society. she equals if not excels her first appearance under MT. Fox in the picture play "Blazng Love" Her years of successful stage training have made her movie" work unusually perfect and pleasing.
 For there probably is none of the stars now appearing on stage and screen in the United States who are so completely American as Miss Pear son. She is a Louisville beauty, as the many noted women of Kentucky state. member of the famous southern family. the Cslloways In this ac- ress' veins is ahe blood Of American pioneers and a long line of artists and literary folk of old England.
 Early in her womanhood she was compelled, like so many daughters of aristocratic southern families, to gain her own livelihood. Miss Pearson al- ways had loved books, and her first employment was as assistant librarian of the Booklovers' Library at Louis vile She had been well educated in the public schools and at a business university at her home city.
 Then she became stage struck" and entered her dramatic work under Henry w Savage. Within a year or two she was established as a stock ac- tress of unusual promise. She played in stock al the New Theater in Wash training in Shakespeare's and other classic productions, and she was seen on the boards at the Gaiety Theater in New York City. She next entered moving picture work with the Vita graph company.
 Virginia Pearson's private life is unusually interesting. She is one Of the few actresses who like both ath letics and those more feminine fads which run to house decorations and fine gowns. She excels at swimming, dancing, horseback riding and dress. Miss Pearson has originated many vogUes in freak decoration and dress which have travelled like wildfire across the continent. Many a woman does ttirss in the way invented by Miss Pearson and does not know it.
 In the picture play Hypocrisy" Hiss Pearson is at her best in fine gowns and dramatic interpretation, assisted by a strong company and -9weIfui film-story of so-called high eociotv and the evils which some Of It's false standards produce.
 The prices for six features, begin -'rg today, will be 10 and 15 cents in stead of 15 and 9 cents as heretofore.

MYERS EXPECTSTO BRING FINE ARTS
 COMPANY TO CITY
Director for Griffith in Next Six Weeks May Have Pho toplay People Making Pic lures in the District.

Leaving last night for Los Angeles, where he will rejoin his staff of the Fine Arts Studio, D. W. Grifith's motion picture organization, Ray My CTS, one of the directors for the com pany, after spending several days in the District, expects to return to Bis bee within six weeks and begin the production of several phOtoplays here.
 Myers, who is a Bisbee product and who has been in the motion picture business for the past seven years, has been in Bisbee since Tuesday. He has been interested in using Risbee as a background for photoplays for some years and only recently has he been in a position where he could command the interest of one of the larger producers along the line. As a result of his determination he made the trip ro the camp and that his conclusions were good could be de- termined from his conversation last evening.
 Upon getting back to Los Angeles Myers expects ro work up several stories, using this locality as the set ting for them. He will then submit them to D. W. Griffith and. with his company, come to the District
 Yesterday Myers succeeded in se> curing permission to use some of the mines of the Copper Queen company for the purpose of making pictures With the aid of Kleig lights. which would light up the darkest of places, the director can work in any stope or drift in the camp and much of his work will be directed along this line.
 "I do not know exactly what sized company I will bring with me-" said Myers last evening. Tn all probabili- ty I will have from eight to ten actors and will stay several months. My lasting impressions of Bisbee, gained years ago when I lived here, were not amiss in the slightest and I am more than pleased with the pos abilities afforded the motion picture producer in this locality.
 The public, though very gullible, is coming to discern anything that is faked and it is 0 get around this and to make some stories, built around big copper mining camp. that I intend bringing the company to Bisbee. The time is coming when all companies
