NEW TRIANGLE-WARNER PLAY
HITS AT AN EVIL OF SOCIETY
Marriage for Title Assailed in the
Story of THE Market of
Vain Desire"

Marriage to obtain title marriage
that is mere bargain and sale; mar
riage without love, in which a girl
gives herself to man unworthy of
her affection, merely to crafty selfish
ambition and pride-what subject has
been brought more prominently and
painfully before the American public,
in the last few years?
The list of American girls of wealth
who have sold themselves, or have
been sold by schcming mothers, to for
cign noblcmen, and who have repented
bitterly, is long and notorious one.
A girl doomed to just such a fate, and
saved only through the daring inter
ventlon of a fearless man. is a char
actcr in the latest Triangle drama to
offer H. B. Warner as star-"The
Market of Vain Desire"
Helen Badgley's mother wants her
to Marry Count Bernard d Montaigne.
The latter is worthless specimen of
humanity, with nothing save his title
to recommend him to anyone's notice
He wants slice of the Badgley mil
lions, and to get the beautiful young
girl along with them is a prospect
most pleasing to him. Helen's father
is dominated by his wife. The girl her
self has seen so little of genuine af-
lection in the set in which she moves
that she doubts whether there is any
such thing, and YEARLY accedes to her
mothers plan.
But John Armstrong, young
clergyman who has come from a coun-
try pastorate to the city church at
tended by the Badgleys, does not like
the prospect at all. In the first place,
he sees the sordidness and wickedness
of the marriage; in the second place
he is in love with the girl himself.
Asked by Badgley to announce the en-
of Helen, he instead preach

NEW PLAY EXCITING
Swift Action of "Mr. Goode, the Sa-
maritan," Involves Philanthropist
With Band of Crooks.

Mr.. Goode, the Samaritan in the
Triangle photoplay feature Of that
name, which is to be shown at the
Bungalow Theatre for limited en-
gagement of one day, November 9th,
is benevolent old gentleman who be-
comes enmeshed in the tolls of the law
when he buys stolen automobile
from Foxy Monte, a crook.
While poor Mr.. Cooke languishes in
Jail, his family, believing him to be
absent on business trip, Foxy Monte
makes himself most agreeable to Mrs
Goode and her charming daughter,
Evelina, who promises to become his
wife. Goode, not pleased with the
state of the jail, and being in great
sympathy with the disreputable in
mates, has the place refurnished, and
at expiration of his sentence invites
Shifty Ed, one of the incarcerated
crooks, to come and visit him.
Ed comes to make his call in com
pany with his "goil," Shorty Sal, at a
time when the Goodies are entertaining
a fashionable house party, with Foxy
Monte, under an alias, as one of the
guests. Sal recognizes Monte; and he,
realizing he is in danger of exposure,
denounces Ed and Sal as notorious
thieves, himself robbing the guests OF
their jewelrv to fasten suspicion upon
them, While attention is directed to
the two unforunatcs, he persuades
Evelina, who's hand has been denied
him by Mr.. Goode, to elope with him
How Shifty Ed and Shorty Sal turn
the tables upon Monte in gratitude to
Mr. Goode, leads the film to an excit-
ing finish.

Cost of Living,

The tremendous increase in the
cost of living, combined with the pre-
vailing unrest in the labor field, offers
problem of the largest magnitude
for American business. Bredstreets

focibly than any ordinary comparison.
The following figures represent the
average prices of four groups of food
stuffs:

And be it further resolved; That as
the utterances of such libelous and
false statements in regard to the Off
GERS and men of the American revolu-

must be most pernicious in their eff
feet upon the loyalty and patriotism of
the youth of our nation, we therefore
call upon every loyal and patriotic
man and woman in America to re-
pudiate this odious comparison and
unjust and untrue attack upon our
forefathers, the founders Of this re-
