ment May Spread to Other
Cities in League.

BOSTON. Jan. 20.---Hub fans are to-
DAY overjoyed at the announcement
from President Lannin that prices will
be lowered at Fenway Park this COM

lowering of prices will spread to
other American League cities
When the Red SoX open their cam
paign here next April no boz seat
VIII cost more than dollar. The
dollar section, extending for ten rows
wholly around the big stand. will be
eliminated, Every. seat In the grand
stand will cost seVenty-five cents.
President Lannin plans to increase
the twenty hve-cent section to a total
OF 10000. This will reduce the fifty-
cent section to about $500 seats.

 Practice has made the Pathe com pany notably proficient in the pro- duction of serial photoplays. Through out long experience, beginning with the renowned "Perils of Pauline" directors and scenario writers connected with Pathe have learned the difficult art of telling story in installments so that each release is complete in itself yet an essential part of an extended plot.
 Seemingly, they have found it wise to make each reel interesting, quite as if it were expected to stand on its own merits. Protracted expositions are avoided, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the necessary ex- position-the introduction of the char acters and clear outline of their rela- tionship-iS incorporated in the dram atfc action. Such, at least, is the inn pression left by the first two episodes of "The Iron Claw" that bids fair to become the most popular serial made by Pathe.
 Jf pac+ rarfor,,oroas oro :, .,fo +ol,ax, of the future, we should say that a winning combination is engaged in producing this story of mystery and thrills. The author, Arthur Stringer, is blessed with an astonishingly fer tile imagination. For many years he has been contributing weird stories to American magazines, and he may be counted upon for just the quality of ingenuity required in a photoplay of this character. George Bracket Seitz, who is putting the stories into scenario form has revealed his competency on previous occasions. Edward Jose is one of the most artistic directors maxim g pictures in America, and the screen has brought forth no more daring he roine than Pearl White
 "The Vengeancse of Legar,' in two reels opens the serial at a rapid pace. It is here that we notice the expert ness with which interest is aroused in the story of the girl. Margery Golden. who Is kidnapped when child and reared by the vengeful Jules Legar- "The Iron Claw" In scenes of the most vivid kind, we see enough of the past of the characters to comprehend their motives. The plot is original in concep- tion and the action, while entirely free from padding, is complete enough to escape appearing fragmentary. It will be an unresponsive audience, indeed, that does not respond to the horror of Legar's punishment when his arm is crushed and his face is branded with a hot iron. More thrilling still are the flood scenes, the inundation of an en- tire island and the escape of Margery Golden
