BREED THEATRE,

Admirers of the popular screen star. Crane Wilbur who have praised his excellent acting in former pictures, should see him in the i've act psyCho- logical drama. The Love Liar, which is the feature at the Freed theatre today As David McCare, the romantic violin ist, he creates a role far different from anything he has heretofore portrayed He is supported by an all star cast which includes Mae Gaston, Ella Col den and Fred GOdwins. The Mutual Weekly, showing all the latest news and Tn the Land of TortiIa, a one reel comedy, completes the bill for today.
 For Friday and Saturday the won dcrful Madame Petrova, justly ac- claimed as the most gifted and emo tonal artist now appearing on either stage or screen, will be seen in the distinctive production Playing With Fire. In every screen production in which Madame Petrova has appeared this famous star has achieved a real triumph of art, and in this, her latest contribution to the silent drama, she has set a new high mark Her two most recent successes were The Soul Market and The Scarlet Woman, and her many admirers will find in PIayine, With Fire all that delighted them in these two superb photodramas as well as many new and novel effects and tense situations which belong exclu- 5ively to the present production.

She wore a wreath of roses The night when first we met; Her lovely face was smiling
 Beneath her cUrls of jet Her fOOtstep had the lightness, Her voice the joyous tone The tokens of d youthful heart, I saw her but a moment,
 Yet mcthinks I sec her now, With the wreath of summer flowers Upon her snowy brow. A wreath of orange blossoms,
 When next we met, she wore; The expression of her features
 Was more thoughtful than before; And standing by her side was one
 Who StrOve, and not in vain. To soothe her. leaving that dear home She ne'eT might view again. I saw her but a moment,
 Yet methinks I see her now, With the wreath of orange blossoms Upon her snowy brow. And once again I sec that brow;
 No bridal wreath is there. The widows sOmbre cap conceals
 Her once luXuriant hair. She weeps in silent solitude,
 And there is no one near To press her hand within his own.
 And wipe away the tear. [ see her brOken-h hearted;
 Yet methinIs ! sec her now, Tn the pride of youth and beauty,
 With garland on her brow

MANY DAILY NEWSPAPERS
 MAY BE FORCED TO SUSPEND
Would Be Unable to Get Paper in Case of Nation Wide Railroad Strike.

New York. Aug. BOA very large number of the daily newspapers of the United States will be forced to sus- pend publication on account of lack of paper. if a nation wide railroad strike continues for two weeks. it was declared today by Lincoln B. Palmer, manager of the Newspaper Publishers association.
 "The print paper situation is acute from causes entirely outside the prob lem of transportation said MT Pal mer, Many publishers are on a hand to-mouth basis, getting a carload from the mill just as they are exhausting the Carload on hand"
 MT. Palmer explains that there were only 60,000 tons of news print paper on hand and that the daily consump- tion approximately 5000 tons. He added that his statement was based on the possibility that the strike would cause a complete suspension of the transportation of the commodity. During the embargoes declared by the railroads some time ago news print paper was excepted and expedited.
