CROWDS CONE
To THE WIGNANI
Lois Weber's Masterpiece,
"Price of a Good Time"
There Again Today.


Big crowds yesterday saw the
presentation Of Lois Weber's MASTER
piece, THE Price Of a Good Time" at
the Wigwam. This is a Jewel pro-
duction and it maintains the high
standard for which that brand Of
films has set. Like all Of Miss
Weber's productions. it deals with a
problem in human life. It is the story
Of high society and Of the working
girl. The former affords Miss Weber
the needed opportunities for big sets
and magnificent surroundings, and
the latter gives her a chance TO
bring in those human interest touches
for which she is noted.
The story is a simple, yet a great
one. Little Linnie was a sorrOwful
little girl clerk at a perfumery coun-
ter in Winfield's big department
store. Her home life was 4 miserable
one. Her father was a hopeless
paralytic; her mother was a scold
and her brother was a fanatic. Her
home life was reflected in her de-
were far below those Of the girl from
a happy home who worked with her.
When handsome Preston Winfield.
son Of the merchant prince, noticed
her and offered her six nights Of good
time, is it any wonder she accepted
He carried her into the land Of the
Arabian Nights. He gave her beau
tiful clothes and he made her think
that life was, after all, worth living,
and then came the awakening with
all Of its awfulness. THE Price OF
a Good Time" is a picture that will
interest and please you from start to
finish and when you leave the theater
it will 20 with you. 1t is a picture
