The Theatres
PRESS NOTICES GIVE
"KICK-INv GREAT BOOST

The New York Tribune in its review
of 'kick-In" the special feature which
shows at the Orpheum theatre Thurs
day and Friday said There is action
enough in Kick-In' to satisfy the most
hardened theatregoer. All its charac-
tiers and some of its situations are
familiar enough, but it has the vir-
tue of presenting them without arti-
ficiality and with a good measure of
warm human sympathy"
The New York World said: There
is joke or a SILVER and thrill in al
most every line of it and however So
phisticated the spectators may be,
there is something in all the situa-
tons to make ones heart thump."
Here is what Peter Milne says in
the Motion Picture News:
Kick-in' is going to put the big
gest kick yet in the Pathe program. II
is all punch. 'Kick-In' never stops
moving. Literally it is crammed full
of most exciting moments When onf
goes, another arrives. The mastery
way in which George Fitzmaurice has
handles his scenes serves further
to emphasize their strength. Realism
there is a plenty. Nothing is false
There is not a single dull moment. I
will give offense to none for in ii
entirety it is clean. Judging it on
hundred per cent basis we would no
puzzle long over the rating-one hun
dred per cent, we should say and W
think you will too"

welcomed into exclusive circles into

creased value will entitle her to enter.
Miss Porcy has been something of a
pariah socially, but with the increased

wealth, and therefore something of a

rather uncouth, or at least, as they
say since she became worth more
somewhat original" but all this is
about to be changed, for Professor
Fjelsted said only yesterday that he
was here in the interest of "hog and

that Miss Eve Lamb is also about to
make a debut into the social swim
Professor Fjelsted said that he would
be here for a few days.

SEATTLE, Sept. 3. - The potato market has declined $5 a bushel on Pudget Sound stock. Some growers are holding for $40 a ton flat, but the commission men refuse this crop, which is ripening fast and the market is threatened with an oversupply, as there is little possibility of Washing ton stocks being shipped east A scarcity Of boxes is causing anxiety among the apple growers in some parts of eastern Washington. This is especially true among Yakima grow CTS, who put the box shortage at one hundred and fifty carloads. Grapes are beginning to arrive, but the prices are high owing to the demand for grape juice. The peach and pear prices have stiffened and a drop is not expected until the growers begin to ship heavily. The egg and butter markets are firm and dealers say rain is needed to bring a drop in price, as forage is high. Cheese is steady. and grocery staples unchanged Potatoes, Puget Sound, $35 and $40; apples, $225 box; Butter, 46 and AZ cents !, eggs, 48 cents; cheese, "A cents.

FRENCH HISTORIC TREASURES TO
 STAY HOME
tBy Associated Press)

PARIS. Sept 5. - Senator Guill- aame Chastenet has introduced bin into the senate which, if it becomes law, will have certain interest for American art collectors. The object of the bill is to protect Frances his toric and artistic treasures" which the senator thinks will be in greater danger than ever after the war.
 An article in the bill proposes a progressive export tax on all works of art leaving the country. The sen ator suggests 10 per cent tax on the first sl.000, l5 per cent on the second and 20 per cent on the third. The value of the work of art is to be es- abolished by a declaration of the eX- porter, as checked by the eXportation bureaus, a committee of experts to decide when there is a disagreement.
 The 0ther provisions of the bill are drawn up on the lines of Italian legis- lation for the preservation of artistic treasures and aimed at preventing ex' portation.
