Orpkellm'S Sunday BU.

Society comes in for it's share of muck rakinE" in the William Fox photodrama. Hypocrisy" starring Virginia Pearson. that noted stage and screen Southern beauty, which comes 10 the Orphcum Sunday night. Her part is that of a young society woman, through whose toRdncss for gambling falls into the pitfalls of so-called high society
 She has two lovers, parts taken by Alfred Swanson and John Webb Dillon, one of whom she marrics, only Co continue 10 receive atten- tions from the other. The rejected lover naturally develops into a yil- lain, and the society woman's love Of bridge lets her fall into his hands through a gambling debt
 But she is saved in good time by her husband and the realization in her own conscience of the shams, bluffs and hypOcrisies of society. The picture play has it's many situ- ations. only found in Fox films. and altogether is a drama of sound nor al and artistic merit

StarS ViU Enlist.

The severance of diplomatic re- lations between the United States and the German empire has aroused the patriotic spirit among the Uni versailles. Many actors at Univer- sal City, in addition to those who already belong to the Coast Defense Guard, have announced their inten- tion of leaving the silent drama and joining the defense forces in the event Of hostilities.
 In addition Ruth StOnehouse, Irene Hunt, Ella Hall, Eileen Sed- wick, Claire Mcdowell. AIignon An derson and many other leading wo- men Of the film capital have decid- ed to organize a Red Cross corps. Nearly all of these at one time or another have enacted the role of a Red Cross nurse before the cam era and they declare that if their country calls they will be ready to serve. Already some of them are studying works on first aid to the injured and make regular trips to the Universal City hospital to be- come better acquainted with the work.

HIGH COST OF
 LIVING HITS THE
 3. B. VICTIMS
Managers To Save by Reducing Salaries but Overhead Charges
 Will Be Increased.

The high cost Of living now has numbered the baseball industry among its many victims.
 Although major league magnates will save thousands of dollars by salary rcductions~th season, their overhead expenses will be greatly increased While it is true that some of the high cost of living items will more directly affect the men to whom the club owners sell con sessions, it is equally certain that club owners will pay increased prices for nearly everything they must buy.
 Training expenses in the south land will probably be 75 per cent. higher than in 1915, it is said.
 Ball players who want potatoes three times day may face the same stern impossibiity that certain members of Q major baseball squad faced q few seasons ago in a small Southern tr&ning camp, when they were unable to induce the hotelkecper to give them eggs and meat at the same meal.
 Bats have gone up. A Louisville factory, which practically supplies the entire major league demand, recently announced that the clubs would each cost about 25 cents more.
 The price of print paper has seemingly proved serious problem for the score card business. Some clubs let this concession to persons who provide an elaborate card, jimiler to theatre program. 9th ar clubs get out a cheaper sheet 1 The opinion prevails that the score card business is far less profitable than it was in "the good old days" when paper was cheap. It was said recently that the score card which a major ball club sells will cost the club at least $2,OOO more for paper alone this year, and that the typo graphical expenses will be much heavier.
 Of course, thousands of fans who noticed a shrinkage in the quantity of eatables sold for a nickel or a dime in the stands last year are themselves for the worst.
 To them the yield of wheat and the strain of foreign demand are minor problems when compared with the prospects for a bumper supply of frankfurters and peanuts.

The POpuJur' MoUieS.

Secretary E. D. Horkhcimcr, Of Balboa studio gives a few reasons why people attend motion pictures:
 Tho cost is small
 The entertainment is informal
 They can just drop in do not have any\ trouble about reserved seats.
 They can go and come as they please, having no large investments to consider.
 They get varied program.
 They can see a star without pay ing $2 more or less.
 They always get their moneys worth no matter how indifferent the picture may be-
 They get effects in the picture that the stage cannot even begin to approach.
 In a season there may be one or three stage successes worth the price of admission, but in the pie lures there is at least one week worth while.
 In the smaller towns the spoken

plays are jokes, and what chance have the people there to see those worth while?
 Because tho masses cannot afford the better stage attractions and they know the cheap houses are worse than bad pictures.
 Because they want something diff ferent and the motion pictures are giving it to them, while the speak ing stage offerings are just as hackneyed as of old, the successes being few and far between.
 Because they want to see in si- lence, listen to the music of q good organ or orchestra, and enjoy the wonderful photographic effects that the stage can never approach.
 Because they love the wide stretches of beautiful fields and for est and mountain and sea, the glor- ious effects of sky and sea, the glorious effects of sky and sun, of nature alive and in various moods.
 Because the pictures bring to their eyes the whole wide world of men and things and broaden them by instruction that most of hem never could get otherwise.
 Because the motion picture show g at hand It is easy to reach. It g only a short walk from home. It loeg not call for q long car ride or Or an entire evening.

New York, July 24.-Stocks resum-

almost the smallest turnover of any
full session thus far this summer. To-
tai dealings barely amounted to $780,,

shippings contributed fully two-thirds
of the whole.
Traders again aligned themselves on
the bear side, forcing prices t o the
active period of the day. So far as
they had any incentive at all, opera
lions were almost wholly governed by
diverse reports from Washington.
Shippings were further depressed
at the outset, but rallied temporarily
on the elimination Of the original ship
building board. only to lose ground
again later.
Rails were moved to higher levels
for a time on the interstate commerce
commission decision, which favored
the western and Pacific coast carriers,
but soon fell back with the general
list.
Changes elsewhere scarcely warrant
