'AL|M0NY' At THE
GRECIAN TODAY
Reveals Shameful Facts
Concerning Evils of the
Divorce Traffic.

The Grecian theater has secured the
local exhibition rights to "Alimony,"
which deals with one Of the most mo-
mentous problems now confronting
American society. It has an all-star
cast Of players. headed by Lois VIII
son, Josephine Whitten and George
Fisher in the leading roles.
"Alimony' is from the pen Of Hay
den Talbot, the well-known young
playwright who has to his credit a
number of American and European
successes of the speaking stage. 1t is
smashing big drama, dealing, as the
title indicates, with the subject of di
vorces and containing an eloquent plea
for the elimination of those acts Of
legislature that permit INSCRIPTIONS
lawyers TO win "easy-money" divorce
DEGREES, through the medium Of the
referee system Woven around a com
pelling human document, it proves TO
be a startling expose and points the
finger Of accusation at several easily
recognizable attorneys who today are
reaping harvests from the dishonest
methods which the laws of certain
states uphold
OF his subject matter, Talbot says:
I'm 'Alimony' 1 think I have pritten
an argument that ought to make peo-
striven to put into an entertaining
screen play the many surprising and
shameful facts concerning the evils
OF certain divorce laws, with which 1
came into contact during my career
as a newspaper man. 1 promised my
self several years ago that I would
put on paper what I had learned from
my observations. and .Alimony' is the
result Of my efforts. If 1t should
succeed in its purpose to lift the cur
tain of ignorance and reveal to puolic
gaze the astounding way in which
countless divorces, absolutely unwar-
ranted, are granted-because of the
laws which govern them-I shall feel
that my task has not been in vain"
'Alimony" will be shown at the Gre
clan just three days. beginning today.
Shows start at / p m. sharp. There
will be large crowds TO see this play,
and those who can should by all
means attend the matinees.-Adv.

EGGS DROP P CENTS.
Consumes Sec Happy Days in Near
 Future,

New York, March 4.--Julius D. Mahr, president of the Now York Mer- cantile Exchange, said yesterday that the big drop of 27 cents a dozen in the wholesale price of eggs m a week shows just how the law Of supply and demand works and also points out tho weakness of the theory of price fixing. He added that the market is satis- factory to egg dealers here, as it will enable consumers to buy eggs at reasonable prices. He said the people who are hardest hit by the great flow of eggs into the New York market are the shippers.
 Mr. Mahr said the price of eggs would not have gone so high as they went this winter had it not been for the difficulties of railroad transporta- ton. He denied that there has been speculation by egg receivers here. Prices were so high and conditions were so uncertain that nobody dared to take a chance, he asserted.
 MT. Mahr said he didn't believe any body has been refusing shipments of eggs because of the great drop in prices here after contracting to buy eggs at high prices. He insisted there is no such practice among dealers in the trade.
 Complaints have been made that a number of receivers in New York, caught in the jam Of dropping prices tried to get from under by declining to accept shipments of perfectly good fresh eggs on the ground that some thing was the matter with them. The Federal Food board insists that all consignments of food shall be accepted and sold at the best advantage. Dur ing the last few weeks over fifty con- signments of potatoes which con- signeeS declined to take were accepted and disposed of by the receivers under pressure from the Food Administra- tion The threat that wholesale l- censcs might be revoked unless every body played fair had a potent effect.
