RUSSIAN PLAY
BIJOU FEATURE

There is little of the gloom cast by
a shadow of war depicted in the set
ting for a gorgeous wedding cere-
mony represented to have taken place
IN Russia before the series OF stirring
events which finally dethroned The
Little White Father" Of the Slavs.
Clara Kimball Young, beautifully
gowned, who appears in a wealth OF
dazzling costumes before the final
chapter in the intense drama, my OF
fetal Wife," has attracted unusual
attention during her engagement at
the Bijou theater. The large draw
ing room set is artistically decorated
with palms and flowers while a gi-
gantic bell of white blossoms is sus-
nen6ed over a flower-banked altar.
Guests in hundreds are present in all
sorts of exquisite evening gowns, who
add life to a scene and make the
photodrama fairly ring with realism.
Earle Williams is co-star with Miss
Young in the play. Harry Morey as
the husband has an exciting part,
but due to his unusual individuality,
he has made much of many trying
situations. Now taking emotional
roles, Morey was, until few years
ago. identified with musical comedy,
appearing with Weber and Fields in
a number of productions.
Bijou patrons bestowed rousng
reception upon Rene Dietrich and
Horace Wright, singers and balladists,
whose program of melody merited
and received high appreciation.

Cable advices received by the Ha-

prices generally will advance on the
mainland in the near future. but the
local market will not be affected, at
least for the present time, by this in
crease.
This is due largely 10 the fact that
very little meat, either alive or frozen,
is Icing imported nov, a large guam
tity of the beef sod by the Hawaii
Meat Co. coming from the Parker
Ranch. No immediate increase in the
price of beef is anticipated by the
Il eat concern. The demand for NUT
ton and lamb is light. while the de-
mand for pork continues about the
same.
Pork is rather scarce now, it was
learned from Chinese wholesalers to-
day. 1t is retailing at from 35 to 40
cents a pound, and there is a POSSIBLE,
ity of the price going to 40 and As
cents, but this may not come for
some time. Wholesalers are now pay.
ing about 1912 cents a pound for live
hogs. and prior to the war the price
per pound was down as low as II
cents. Live hogs are not being import
ed at the present time because of
lack of cargo space, says C. Q. zee
Hop, and no frozen pork is being
brought in because consumers do not
care for 1t.

COMEDY DRAMA

One thousand dollars is considered
a rather pretentious sum to be paid
for wooden leg, and especially so II
II is to be fitted TO a crippled rog.
1t fell to the lot of a prominent Chi
cago surgeon to supply the needfui
limb, this animal making its initial
appearance in the production OF A
Modern Cinderella" in which Miss
June Caprice is starred at the lia"an
theater the remainder Of the week.
The canine is said TO have attracted
the unusual interest Of a Windy
City" dog fancier when seen around
several picture producing studios
After the dog met with an accident
which resulted in the loss OF leg, ar
Tangements were made TO supply the
missing member, though fabulous
sum was paid. One other such opera
ton is recorded by famous surgeon
in Paris who saved the life OF highly
priced dog belonging to Max Linder,
also world-renowned moving picture
favorite.
"A Modern Cinderella" is a delight
full little comedy-drama, produced un
der the direction of William Fox. 1t is
the perturbation of youths eternal

Auer has lost none of its piquancy by

escapes in the two part serial, The
Lass of the Lumberlands." At the
