Workers in Furs on summer pay. That is wages less than in winter when the rush is on.
 Fur Manufacturers are willing to sell at less prices thereby keeping their shops running and re- taining their skilled workmen

paper, is the part played by William
Desmond in paddy O'Hara," which
Will be the Sunday attraction at the
Gem.
With irresistible Irish wit and pug
nacity he plunges into Balkan affairs
and proceeds to straighten them out
to suit himself and a certain prin.
cess, who is compelled to take flight
from her fathers castle to escape the
attacking vandals.
Sure, you can go on my passport
as Mrs. Paddy O'Hara," suggests the
bllthe lrishman to the naughty little
princess. The chaplain of the house
insists that a marriage shall first be
performed, and the princess consents
on condition that she be divorced
from the vows Immediately after
reaching safety. Paddy promises to
observe the contract. But promises
count for little in times of love and
war, and the little princess is the
one who suggests that the clause be
struck from the martial treaty.
The grandeur of mountains and
sweeping valleys distinguishes the set
ting of this production. The story
flashes with humor and excitement
throughout it's rapid fire action.
