kkT A VIE DE BOHEME," a five
 part World Film Brady
 A Made adaptation of Henri Murgers novel, on which the famous Puccini opera, La Boheme," was based, will be shown at the Strand theatre today with the beautiful Miss Alice Brady in the leading role of Mimi the grisette.
 The distinctive charm of this entire production is it's genuine French flavor Nothing more truly French in it's atmosphere has ever been done in an American studio. There may have been others just as good, but none better. Considerable expense was gone to in the building of typical and pie turesque street and studio scenes representing the Latin quarter. They were extremely life-like, and the same applies to the cafes where Bohemians resort. The period of the story is, of course, considerably before the time of modern improvements, and before the Latin quarter became show place for sightseeing tours as it re- gently has been.
 The charm of Bohemia in Paris in those days was really an allurement that had power over riches. Once it's spell was fairly fastened upon its devote it became a habit quite as strong as the habit of the poppy. It is not generally known in America that the cabaret, which is more or less of novelty in this country, has been
 i,7Cf years. The touches of cabaret life in this picture are genuine. It is cus- tomary in French cafes for the diners to spend the evening there after the dinner is over, playing their games of backgammon and vociferously ap- plauding the entertainers.
 These and many other touches of French life make the picture very charming thing as a whole. Then added to that is the lovable person. ality of Alice Brady who appears as Mimi, the grisette. The play is more Of faithful adaptation from Henri Murgur's book than it is from the opera. In many respects, however it adheres to the operatc version and with the music of La Boheme run ming through the exhibition this pie ture ought to be d signal and lasting success Having the advantage of being a classic it will be largely well comed by all of the various elements that make up the cosmopolitan popu- lation of America.

 A Limitation of East Lynne with Theda Bara, who starred in "A Fool There Was and other devilish photo- plays in which the weakness of man for the eternal feminine was the theme, should prove very diverting.
 East Lynne" is an old-fashioned melodrama easily adapted to the film, and from the advanced criticisms where this latest Fox production has been shown it is a success. But as a matter. of fact it is the wicked Theda Bara that the patrons of the Majestic want to see

Why Not corn2

The housewife is looking in all di
rections for ways to reduce the cost
OF living. Just now -four is one OF the
expensive items. Corn meal and
corn products are comparatively
cheap. In this connection the New
York Evening Mail says:
Corn is cheap, comparatively
| Wheat is high. very high We have
much corn. We have little wheat
We have raised three thousand mil
lion bushels of corn in one crop. The
greatest crop of wheat we ever pro.
duced was one thousand million bu-
shells. OF the crop OF this year our
yield OF corn is four and a half times
that OF wheat
Or Barnard tells US cornmeal at
three cents a pound is equal in value
to two loayes Of wheat bread.
Based on food value, corn in the
form OF meal OF hominy is the cheap
est focdstuff obtainable today.
The south knows corn To the
north and west it is little known
comparatively.
Again Dr. Barnard tells us three
cents worth OF cornmeal contains as
much nutriment as ninety one cents
worth Of eggs at fifty cents a dozen,
or iiftyslx cents worth of round
steak Tor which you pay thirty cents
pound
The high cost of living touches
every pocketbook II YOU would ligh-
ten the strain on your purse, study
the virtues OF corn,
Today the American housewife
uses ten pounds Of wheat iour to one
Mound OF corn-corn of which we have
an ample quantity and wheat Of which
there is scarcity that approaches a
famine
Cornmeal at three cents a pound is
equal in focd value TO six pounds of
potatoes, for which the hOusekeeper
today pays twenty cents.
1t is equal to a pound of cheese,
for which she pays twenty-five cents,
thirty cents or more.
1t is equal to six pounds OF bananas
eleven pounds Of oranges, fourteen
pounds of cabbage.
The corn that we cook into corn
cakes, that we eat as hominy and
mush, costs only onetenth as much
as some OF our breakfast foods
Cornmeal and hominy contain
twice as much fat as any other cereal
except oats, and the world knows the
worth Of oatmeal
Think Of corn. study corn, talk of
corn. The result win be to your ben.
eft and to the benefit of America.
To increase the use of corn is
work of economy and Of national
good.
Today, of all times, this is true,
for what little export trade we had in
corn, which went ont principally in
the form of lard has been curtailed
to the point of disappearance.
Eat corn bread. Get to know the
corn bread of the South Have a
real southerner serve corn bread to
you once and the wheaton loaf no
longer win have its present appeal.
Know the corn pone, if opportunity
offers Know hominy. Know the
