l around helps. But you've got to keep your eyes and ears open, and be on the job all the time. as the competi- tion is so keen that if you let up one minute the fellow across the street lures your patrons away
 Now, to explain more about the high prices. The feature play is the cause of it. The salaries of Mary Pick ford, Marguerite Clark Pauline Fred erick, Charlie Chaplin, Marie Doro Fannie Ward Wallace Reid, Cleo Ridgeley, Theodore Roberts Jack Bar rymore, Hazel Dawn, Billie Burke Charlotte Walker, Dustin Farnum and a host of other stars must be paid Years ago the people gladly paid $2 to see these self same stars in the theatres. and .ow can see them at the Strand for 10 and 20 cents.
 "The fluctuation of prices is also arranged this way Each Paramount release, for instance. has a cost price We have to pay according to what the picture cost to produce, which accounts for the fact that on some days 1t is | times 25 cents. A Mary Pickford sub- | ject, for instance, is always 25 cents due entirely to the enormous salary | paid the star. 'The people need not imagine that | we make more money on the big stars | because of the advance prices. On | the contrary 1t is with much difficulty | that we manage to break even. We of | ten enjoy better luck with mediocre picture at low prices. But then the movie patrons demand the stars-the big stars-and if the Strand did not | provide all the biggest stars in the mo- | tion picture world today, some other | theatre would do so. and get our busi-
 ness away from us. No. the public wants the best and upon understand
 ing what it costs is always willing to ! pay for it.''

 PLEASING AT LYRIC
"On theSchool Fairgrounds" the Star Act for All the Week = Featured by
 Pretty Girls

As special attraction for Fashion Week three big headline acts will be presented. and in addition, there will be six other acts of ability.

The youngsters that appear in the songs, dancing and fun making. are 10 of the most gifted entertainers to be found in any one company, and so much do they seem to enjoy their work that the audience Is swept into the spirit of the thing with them and as result old and young revert for a few minutes to the unalloyed joys and pleasures so rich to the memory of the days spent "On the School Fairgrounds"
 Then there are to be two other big headline acts, Ray Samuels. the blue streak of vaudeville, and the Seven Colonial Bellies, high class musical offering.
 Ray Samuels has personality that wins the audience the moment she ap- pears on the stage and this personal ity, with absolute technical skill. make her one of the supreme lights in her own particular line. Miss sam uels sings her songs in a most in- graduating manner.
 The Seven Colonial Bellies as the name implies, is composed of seven talented musicians, and the act is set in the days of 1776. There is a sex tet of instrumentalists and a soloist. Miss Dorothy Sherman, who presides at the piano. is responsible for the idea and for the assemblage of her co-workers.

Pig Club Converted Father

Texas farmer violently opposed his sons joining a pig club, scoffed at the teachings of the club leaders and fussed and fumed because the son in- sisted on feeding his pig according to the instructions sent out by the A. and M. college. In a few weeks the boys pig outdistanced the fathers pigs. and at the end of few months weighed twice as much as his dads. Feed for the pig cost bit more, but the profit was far in excess of this extra cost. Then dad" told the neigh bors about "our pig" That was one inc stance of the boys pig club movement gaining an ardent convert

THE INFER DO WELL AT STRAND THEATRE
 FOR THE WHOLE WEEK
Based on the Novel by Rex Beech-Great Spectacu- lar Production Booked
 for Local House

Opening on March 20 for a full week '"The Ne'er-Do- We'll" a 1O-part film adaptation of the novel of Rex Beachs, under the new policy of reserved seats and only two performances a day. In other words, you will purchase seats for performances of "The Ne'er-Do- Well" as for a theatrical performance. There will be no dropping in while the show Is half over. as The Ne'er- Do-WelP' performances will begin at 2:30 o'clock every afternoon, and at S:15 o'clock every night. The prices will be 25, 35 and 50 cents. In New York, and in all the large cities where '"The Ne'erDo-W was shown, only the $2 scale of prices prevailed
 ''The Ne'erDo- We'll" by Rex Beach, the Selig spectacular drama, filmed by the Selig Polyscope company, features Wheeler Oakman and Kathlyn Will Hams and an all-star cast
 The hero, Kirk Anthony, a college graduate and veteran football player, and since graduation the coach of his university team On the evening fol- lowing a football victory the last of the season, Kirk and others start out to celebrate. Late that night he finds himself on shipboard, and when he awakens he is without money and without baggage.
 During the voyage. Kirk becomes &C., quainted with woman. Mrs. Stephen Cortlandt whom he learns to admire very much. She is really a diplomatic agent of great influence. One day while Kirk is out hunting he meets in a forest bower Spanish girl. who is known as "Chiquita." He falls des- perately in love With her. and tries vainly to discover her identity.
 The story of his making good, of his winning of Chiquita, despite the coun- ter plottings of Mrs. Courtlandt, of the clearing of his name. and of the final decisive intervention in Panamanian affairs of old Darwin K. Anthony, is strongly expressing and varied by many richly humorous episodes.
 Chiquita is by far the most charming feminine character Rex Beach has drawn. and Kathlyn Williams as Edith Cortlandt. is an exceeding, convincing and fascinating type

 "Do you know. believe tho bleacher business has been more than cut in half by the film houses said Kinsella. Its got so bad that gave a quarter to a boy friend of mine last summer to take in ball game. I kept my eyes peeled for him that afternoon, but couldn't To- cate him.
 "That night asked him how he liked the game. He seemed to act secretive and finally admitted he had spent the two bits for five moving picture shows "

According to MT. Abernethy, the pub lie is still under the impression that a nickel is all that should be charged, for they have not been informed of the wondrous changes in the film in- dustry.
 Tt was all very we'll a few years ago." said Tom Abernethy yesterday, ito charge only cents, as the rent ing of the films was not so heavy and the rents on the picture show property were not very high, either. However, that is now all changed.
 For a picture theatre. man must have central property and every intel ligent man in Birmingham knows thai property has advanced in this city, and so have rents. The monthly rent alone of one of my theatres is more than the yearly income of the average working man. Then, again there are state and city licenses to pay. which amounts to hundreds of dollars, and, in conjunction With lights, employees and film service. means that the patrons of the theatre must pay more because they get more.
 Does anyone suspect that it costs over 5000 week to operate the Strand theatre? Before one penny of profit is made over 10000 persons have to pay admission to the Strand every week. By these figures it will be un- derstood that moving pictures is not exactly a gold mine as some of my friends are wont to suspect.
 Moving pictures is a business in which a man must keep everlastingly at it to make good You've got to watch the crowds and what they want, and then get it for them. That Is the only way to secure patronage for your theatre Then. of course, politeness of your employees and efficiency al

Roads the latest Equitable release is
 shown at the Trianon on Friday and
 Saturday. The story itself is a won
 derfully realistic presentation of cer-
 tain seldom seen phases of New York
 life. The star of the play. Miss Marie
 Empress, enacts a difficult role in a
 wonderfully impressive manner, leav-
 ing an impression on the minds of
 those who see it which will not be
 lightly effaced. The story deals not only with the emotional, but the sor- did side of life, and the working out of the solution of the mystery which envelops the principal characters shows the workings of the human mind from an angle which will prove both new and interesting to movie" fans. There are a number of wonderful pie lures of life in New York, and the realism is not the least important and attractive feature of this great pres entation.

 Not so very long ago one of the three called the darky to do some small re- pairing jobs about the apartment.
 "Boss," inquired the old man. in the midst of his work. does you white Genlmens live heah in total deprav- ity of de feminine sex?"
 We do," was the answer.
 From the bottom of his henpecked soul the old darky fetched up long, deep, sincere sigh.
 Well, suh." he said. "ef I wuz ez you is. should suttingly remain so."

Ship Patrol Shelled a Mule

From the Phlladelpnla hecofd.
 London-One of the funniest episodes of the war has come to light as a re- suit of an official report of an incl dent in the Mediterranean, where a dead Texas mule floating feet upward. was mistak ken for a submarine.
 An allied patrol vessel gave chase to what was suspected to be an enemy submarine, eventually sending shell into the supposed U-boat. The official report of the incident gives the final results in these terms:
 ''On being hit the enemy retaliated with poisonous gases"
 The incident caused no end of amuse- ment in naval circles.
