child actress, will be presented as the
star of I'm Sunderland" which will
be shown at the Classic tonight. Thel-
ma, with that other remarkable kiddie
George Stone, explores the mysteries
of fairyland, depicted with marvellous
beauty and amazing scenic effects by
Director Irwin Willat, who has in
vented some remarkable lighting eff
fects particularly for this play. The
story, by L. V. Jefferson, is a whimsy
that will give joy to both children
and adults. The cast includes, besides
the kiddies, Laura Sears, Jack Living
ston, j. P. Lockney, Walter Perry and
more than hundred children, who
appear in fairly dances.

Valeska Suratt in ga Rich Mans
Plaything" is billed at the Classic for
Sunday. It is one of the most interest
ing characters she has ever been
called upon to interpret since becom-
ing identified with the silent drama.
There are but few moments when she
is not in the picture, which adds all
the more Importance to the production
in general. When Miss Suratt appears
in play it is an event-a real dra-
matte event-one that attracts atten-
ton, because of her popularity wher-
ever known, and her fame extends
throughout the world.

which will be the attraction at the
Classic on Saturday, Alice Joyce, the
winsome young star of many Vita
graph productions, will be seen in a
role different from any she has por-

Brazen' she is called upon to play a
role dual in character, the early
stages bordering on light comedy
while in the latter part of the story
she develops strong emotional power

Chicago, May 26.-Wheat-Cash
wheat was more freely offered and
premiums broke serevely. In the fu-
lures market there was, OF course, no
trade except in the way OF liquidation
and the market was, therefore. draggy.
The foreigners, after their excited buy
ing Of a few weeks ago, are very de-
lfberate now about taking hold, seem
ing to show less anxiety as to their
future supplies. The domestic situa-
ton shows that the urgent demand has
been satisfied and there IS not the
vigorous layingin of large quantities
Of flour that was observed little
while back. Crop conditions seem to
be improving slightly and each inter-
ests are not eager to enter the market
for the new crop at prevailing price
levels.
Corn-A1l news was against the corn
market today and prices ranged sharp
ly lower. Country offerings continue
to enlarge, while the cash demand Z
decidedly less urgent. Freight agents
report the car situation almost normal
again and II this proves to be true,
there will be a liberal movement of
coarse grains during the next thirty
days. A cargo Of Argentina corn was
reported as arriving in New York and

another large cargo due Monday. In :
creased acreage figures are growing
with each report and, with favorable
weather conditions, the 1917 crop will
break all records.
Oats-The best buying of oats today
was by shorts The technical position
Of the market was. therefore, impaired
and the close was at good decline
around inside prices. The amount u
oats in commercial channels is likely
to be large until the new crop arrives
and only the most unfavorable weather
can prevent the raising of record
breaking crop.
