"The Price of Silenoep

In a popular magazine of wide circu
lation, the story of The Price of ST.
lence," written by w. Cary WonderIy
was originally printed a few months
ago. Those who then read the narrative
will be interested in seeing the screen
version of this wonderful story which
will be shown at the Columbia today
for the last time. 1t is well told by the
actors and is remarkable for an under
current of tragic expectancy that fur
nishes continuous element of sus-
pense. Dorothy Phillips as the woman
with past gives excellent interpreta
ton of this role, and is ably supported
by Lon Chany in the part of DR.. Stat
ford the man in the case.

will present Romeo and Juliet,

popular screen stars of the day and
their work in this Metro Wonderfully is
beyond comparison.
The Bushman Bayne production of
Romeo and Juliet" shows the great
play as Shakespeare would 1--we writ

POTATO RIOTS.

The potato riots at Amsterdam and Rot

1000 tons of potatoes must be delivered

nor cared where the food was bound. In
deed, there was no suggestion whatever OF
