Risks Husbands LOve to Save Sister Is
 Seen ct Coliseum.

In the news feature at the Coli scum is an interesting picture of the manufacture of violet perfume which is decidedly interesting, and besides a Mutt and Jeff" comedy, there is Not My Sister"
 Occasionally there is found a man who, when he loves and is belover looks only at the present and the future, never into the past. If there has been a dark chapter in the Wo- mans life, it makes no difference to him.
 But more there are who must be- lieve that there has been no one else-whose jealousy reaches back into every year that has gone before. Because of such men, women tell lies. They conceal the misstep, if there has been one, rather than risk the loss of the mans love.
 Such a woman is Grace Marshall. in the new Triangle play, Not My Sister," starring Bessie Barriscale and Wm. Desmond Wronged by a sculptor, in her early years, while working as a model for him, she marries later and is happy in her home until the artist comes again in to her life, this time with his evil eye fixed upon her younger sister, whom he asks to pose.
 Grace has never told anyone of the mans treatment of her. Un- willing now to confess to her hus- band and her mother, she is forced to allow her sister to accept the sculptor's offer, but goes daily with the younger girl to the studio, to see that no harm befalls her. Soon her husband is filled with jealousy Shall she stay away from the stu, dio, and let her sister go to dis. grace? Or shall she, to reveal the reason for her visits to the artist confess to the husband and risk the loss of his love? It is an appalling problem to the woman. Before it has been solved the artist lies dead with knife in his heart, thTe has been an arrest a murder trial and confession from an unexpected source, making one of the most intense series of events seen on the screen in many day In the support of the stars are Franklin Ritchie as the husband. Al ice Taaffe as the younger sister and Louise Brownell as the mother The story is the joint work of James Montgomery, well-known as play
 wright for the speaking stage, and c. Gardner Sullivan. writer of many noteworthy picture plays.

When the Y. NJ. c. A. man and army

Newsboys May Strike
On 'No-Return' Order
Fluctuating Conditions Make
New Mandate Work Hard
ship, 1t Is Declared

That strike of newsdealers similar
to that which followed the increase in
the price of newspapers from one to
two cents is contemplated as result
of the publishers refusal to accent re-
turned copies. became known yester-
day. Andrew Stanton, president of the
Newsboys' Union, which includes a
membership Of almost 1000 vendors in
the downtown business section, declared
after meeting with the publishers
that scores of members Of his associa-
tion are being forced out of business.
He complained thatAthe order of the
War Industries Board prohibiting the
acceptance of returns has resulted in a
hardship on the dealers alone. He
claimed that publishers, who have not
been inconvenienced in any way, should
assist by reducing the price of papers.
The f1uctuating sales, due to the war
news, cause dealers to be repeatedly
"stuck" with fifty or sixty papers, wip-
ing out their profits. Fifty, including
old women and cripples, have been
practically forced out of business. he
said
The association will ask for a reduc-
tion from Sl.A0 q hundred papers to
$1.20, to enable those who have patri-
otically cut down their acquisitions to
exc out living. Unless something is
done to alleviate the poor conditions by
August l. he said, it is almost certain
that strike will be called
