East. 4 :.
After a careful study of the values
Of the different roles, the producers
decided that the hero role was by far
a stronger one than the leading fem
mime role, and in the picture version,
the leading, male part is the stellar
role. Wallace Reid is said to have
a highly effective role in this pro-
duction. n3

Adventure and romance are the
predominating notes struck i'm this
production. The story encircles
eight principal characters. Standing
out q little from the others is the
character Of Terrence Redmond, a de-
scendant Of an adventurous and ro-
mantle race, who seems predestined
to be one or both through his life.
!, The underhanded methods employed
by an unscruplous uncle to place a
rich relatives grandson in ddsrepute,

Terrence Redmond his cue for a

THE TURN IN THE ROAD"

Helen Jerome Eddy, who plays
June Barker" in "The Turn in the
Road" succeeds in creating a role
that appeals strongly to the audience
on the score of fidelity to character.
The keynote OF the character Of
June Barker is sincerity, and this
charming actress work in this pro-
ductton earns her a place among the
bright stars Of film-drama.
Miss Eddy has played leads in
MANY screen successes, being best
known for her splendid work with
George Beban when that sterling ac-
tor was at the apex Of his popularity.
AS a type for June Miss Eddy is
ideal, and not for moment does she
fail to register in part that calls
for acting of the highest order.

AMN Ews comes to us from overseas
 N that peace is bringing to Paris an
 orgy of money-spending such as has never been witnessed in Europe be- fore. Former Premier Ribot denounced it in the senate the other day as kind Of collective madness" and urged the na- tion to cease it's prodigality and get back to hard work and the traditional French thrift
 The skyrocketing of prices has done nothing to check the wild extravaganza of all classes of people. Expensive meals. fine clothes and jewels and costly amuse- ments are sought by every one.
 Inquiries made in the Rue de La Paix prove that never have the jewellers sold so many or such costly jewels.
 Diamonds, rubes and sapphires are especially in demand and buyers are more preoccupied with their size and brilliancy than with their artistic setting.
 In the restaurants people are spending money with equal recklessness In the Champs Elysees and the Bois the prices are fabulous.
 Fashionable women have long since lost all sense of the value of money. They may be seen in plenty on the streets with dogs wearing gold collars, with diamonds flashing in the heels of their shoes and with gem studded bangles around their ankles.
 Taxicab drivers are reaping fortune. But French economists and psycholo- gists see an end to this money spending madness They view it as an inevitable reflex of the war, reflex which Will soon be eliminated by a return to nor mai courses now that peace has been signed
 Meanwhile, however, terrible spec tacle of ruin, bankruptcy and suicides" will come, according to the views or one well-known economist.
 Now how about our American women! Have you read a sisgle novel lately written about Americans by an English man or other outside observer in when the American man has not been pictured as most generous and unselfish where his women folks are concerned?
 He is also portrayed as being greatly overworked, driven by the demands mace upon his bank account for what some one has described as the Cost of High Living
 If this point of view was not common to almost all observers of American man. ners we'd be inclined to resent it. but aren't our own magazines filled with stories of young couples who nave peeh brought to a turn in the road where choice must be made between Keeping rp appearances and keeping out of debt, and every day or two someone adds sucn new coined words as "extravaganics' to our already overburdened language Nowadays the constant clamor about the high cost of living drowns out the sug- gestions that we, the women of Amer ica. still have need to cultivate the v1r- tue of thrift It is very likely that the

purchased to date, because ribbon man. ufacturers have been unable to reproduce copy of the French ribbon which will form the pattern for the allies.
 The official ribbon is of the seven basic colors of the spectrum. In order to obtain the desired effect. at least 20 shades of color must be used to bring out the proper blend of colors and ex- treme skill must be employed.
 Thus far the desired results have not been obtained by domestic manufacture, although each attempt has been an i'm provement upon the preceding one. It IS hoped that fourth attempt, which will be made within a few days by three diff ferent ribbon producers. will result in obtaining the desired sample.
 steps will then be taken immediately for the procurement of the 675,OO0 yards required.
 When the problems connected with the ribbon have been worked out the war department will be ready to furnish tho authorized decoration containing the proper color effect not attained in any of the unauthorized limitations, which are being purchased by many seeking to anticipate the action of the govern ment."
