"1hs Morals Of Marcus" Tonight

"The Morals Of Marcus" Tonight.
Charles Frohman presents his
popular star, Marie Doro, in the great
est triumph Of her stage career, The
Morals of Marcus" in the latest Fa-
nous Players-Paramount five-part fea-
ture, current at the Grand tonight.
William j. Locke's scintilating ro-
mantle comedy, THE Morals of Mar
GUS at the time of its original stage
presentation, made Marie Doro one Oh
the most talked-about stars on the
American stage, and the film version
Of this popular subject even increases
it's possibilities as a vehicle for the
talented star.
The theme Of the play is both abb
sorbing in interest and refreshing In
its originality. and the development OF
the plot unfolds one Of the most de-
lightful love stories that the stage has
provided in many years. Comedy is
predominant throughout the story, but
there are many moments Of pathos,
and one big tragic scene that leads up
to a charmingly natural and altogeth-
er satisfactory denouement.
Marie Doro's wonderful dark eyes
and delicate beauty make her an alb
solutely ideal selection for the role Of
CarIotta. the fascinating little refugee
from the Turkish harem, who upsets
the morals Of the dignified Sir Marcus.
William J. Locke. the brilliant nov
ehst, has constructed many quaint and
interesting transformations in this,
his most famous work, adequately in
terpreted by Eugene Ormonde, Ida
Darling. Julian LEstrange (who Gre
ated the role of Pasquale in the stage
version of the play, at His Majesty's

Warsaw by trolley. The lobby Of the
theater was crowded at all times that
the box office was open.
The film was wonderful in its con.
ception and in its production, and it
leaves a lasting impression and a
wholesome lesson with every one who
sees it. The cry of race hatred, and
the opposition raised by the colored
people and some of the white people
of the city melted away before the
very magic of the film, and in fact
there was nothing in the play to
cause partisanship or feeling. 1t
seemed to the majority.
The music was wonderful ad-
junct and the orchestra numbers
were a strong part of the perform
ance.

Quality : Price Service

Quality-comes first, for without
quality. Price and Service are
without value to the consumer.
For the store that overlooks
quality is of no value to the town
or community in which it is
located. In fact such a store is
a dangerous thing.
Price-comes second but Is of
mo value without quality. Junk
is high at any price. Price and
Quality can only be linked to-
gether by system that gives
satisfactory service to the pub,
lie, without unnecessary expense.
Service-comes last, and has its
value, but in most systems comes
at too high price for the pub
lies welfare. You want good
service, you are entitled to it,
but you do not want to pay an
unreasonable price for It. By
our cash system. we are able to
give you the very highest class
service, at the lowest price.
OUR CASH SYSTEM OF BUYING
AND SELLING
Reduces the cost of operation, it
takes the goods from the produc-
er to the consumer the unneces-
sary expense of the credit busi-
ness.
OUR CASH SYSTEM, saves you
the cost of BOOKKEEPERS
COLLECTORS, BAD AC-
COUNTS, mistakes in charges to
wrong parties, and charges for
gotten, interest on money tied up
in accounts, lost discounts and
numerous other necessary credit
expenses.
II you can afford to pay for these
unnecessary things, alright, but
IL you want to live for less. we
have the system.
BAD ACCOUNTS
WHO PAYS THEM?
You cannot afford to pay them.
The merchant cannot afford to
lose them.
WHO PAYS-Not the man who
fails to pay, that's certain.
Don't blame the credit grocery
man for high prices. You don't
see any credit grocerymen get.
ting rich, do you? and still you

AUSTRIAN WARSHIPS
 STRIPPED FOR GUNS
DetOnations of Enormous 3S1 and APO MiIIimetre Cannon Seem to
 Split Mountain Peak

Rome, May 22, via Paris, May 23, 12:45 a. m.-The Austrians have transferred to the Italian front a num- Der of 381 and APO millimetre guns The latter cannot have been taken from the battleships which have been bottled up in the harbor of Pola since the beginning of the war
 The detonations of these enormous cannon seem to actually split the AL pine peaks, causing frequent avail anches. But in spite of the terrific bombardment which is going on day and night and the reckless expenditure of ammunition by the Austrians their further advance seems impossible in view of the positions which the Italians hold tenaciously.
 Conf Zugua, peak 5000 feet high, which dominates Rovereto and the Lagarina and Arza Valleys, is strong ly held by the Italians.
 On the high plateau of Arsiero the Austrians occupy only the peak of Spitz Tonezza, 5000 feet high. All the other surrounding high mountains are in the hands of the Italians
 The greatest effort of the Austrians is apparently directed now against the Asiago Plateau, to the east of Ar siero, where desperate fighting is go- ing on

The man waived extradition and will be brought back to this city for trial tomorrow. Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth left this noon to bring back the prisoner
 On the night of May 13 Hausen is alleged to have slashed Marmot, who he had known but three days, across the abdomen with a knife. The in jured man was taken to the hospital, but has since recovered. Immediate ly after the stabbing affray Hausen left the city. Marmot complains that Hausen stole a money belt containing $50 and it was during the fight for it's possession that he was cut.
 Last Friday Sergeant Bamforth se- cured information that led him to be- lieve Hausen was in Worcester, but although he went there he could not locate his man. The Worcester au- thorities finally found him this morn ing.
