At SPENCER SQTARE.

"The Evil Thereof" to be seen at
the Spencer Square tomorrow and Sat
urday, is a screen philippe against the
evil of money that is spent only for
qualification, regardless OF the hu-
man cost at which it is bought. The
photoplay traces the history of three
500 bills, which are obtained by crime,
by suffering, and by the sweat of the
brow, and which find their way to a
gay and reckless member of the idle
rich who gives the bills to some guests
at risque party in the form of souv-
enirs. AS each guest picks up the bill,
it's history is depicted on the screen.
One of these little human histories in
wolves a guest at the party, and as the
picture fades into the scene of the
party. showing her with the bill in her
hand which had cost her so much sor-
row and so much pain, given to her so
carelessly by her host, as though it
meant only a scrap of paper to him,
