DOROTHY DALTON
IN 'EXTRAVAGANCE'
Beautiful Star to Appear
This Week at the
Franklin

Dramatic story Of selfish woman who
learns a great lesson about how to live.
Dorothy Dalton. one of the most beau
tiful women of the moving picture stage.
is playing tomorrow at the Franklin the
atre. in Enslev, in one of her greatest
pictures, "Extravagance."
Miss Dalton plays the part of Helen
Douglas, wife OF Alan Douglas. a CAPT
talist. Helen has high social ambitions,
and dresses and lives far beyond her
means. Douglas himself is a man of pre-
tense, always striving to put over a big
deal in stocks.
The time comes, however, when they
must change their way of living, or face
disaster. Billy Bra den. a friend of Doug
las, tries to influence them to give up
their mode of living, and go west with
him. Douglas is half inclined to do this,
but his wife laughs at his prudish ideas,
and they continue to live in world Of
extravaganza. Helen demands a neck
lace that she has wanted for some time,
and her husband tells her If she wants it
she will have to buy it with her own
money. A quarrel follows and Helen goes
to bed weeping. Falling to sleep she
dreams that her husband has been ar
rested for forgery, and kills the officer
that arrests him.
Sne wakes from inns ufeafiir anu scehN
ing her husband. finds that he has gone
out She hurries to his office and finds
Wall street in a panic as a result OF
bear operations on the stock in which
her husband has invested every cent he
had and could borrow He asks Helen for
some CT her money to save his, but she
refuses, and before a jeering crowd he
denounces her as the woman who has
taken all, and refuses to help him in the
time of need Helen returns, then she has
a change of hear. She offers her money
to Douglas when he comes in, down
hearted, and bankrupt But It Is too late

, Such price means bankruptcy to three
fourths of the daily newspaper of Amer
lea. But even at that figure there is not
going to be enough stock to supply the
demand.
The only solution is going to be de-
crease in advertising space and a pro-
portionate increase in rates to meet the
loss of space. The Louisville papers have
already raised their rates 20 per cent,
and another raise is in sight.
Some time ago we had raised our sub
scription rates by carrier delivery 100 per
cent, and further increase is to come by
the first of the year, believe. The New
Orleans papers have just announced an
increase in carrier delivery subscription
rates of SO 13 per cens.
NOT ENOUGH PAPER
ut is ali due to the fact that there is
not enough paper to meet the needs of
the papers today, needs that are grow
ing with each issue. apparently Many
papers are taken care of by contracts,
but others have to go into open market,
and even where there is willingness and
ability to pay the price, there is no pa
per to be obtained.
ut is not so long ago that paper in
louisville could be bought for $3.50 per
hundred, while the last price / saw
quoted was s760 per hundred, an increase
of 300 per cent in less than five years.
And this is not the top figure, Ii is pre-
dicted. Many believe that white paper
will sell at IS per hundred on the open
market by January ]. Most of the. con-
tracts being made now are for the first
three months of the next year with a
fixed price. After that the price will be
determined by conditions.
1.-THE public does not realize the prob
lem that newspapers are facing today
1t is necessary that the advertiser I'M
derstand fully the position of the pub
Usher in order that this crisis in the life
OF newspapers be passed safely"

Drastic. Steps Necessary
To Meet Paper Shortage
Keen Interest in Talk to Be Made by Pastor of Independ
ent Presbyterian Church-Dr S. Reese Murray
to Deliver Sermon

Drastic steps must be taken by news
papers to meet the crisis caused by the
paper shortage. according to C. f. Clad
felter, general manager of the Louisville
Herald, who spent yesterday in Birming-
ham.
Mr.. Gladfelter is member of the ad-
vertising committee of the Southern
Newspapers Publishers association,
which at meeting in New Orleans Fri
day unanimously adopted resolutions cali
ing on the publishers TO take the neces-
sary steps to meet the situation which,
IN the opinion of many experts. threatens
bankruptcy to most of the weaker news
papers of the country.
The measures advocated by Mr. Glad
felter which were those agreed on by
the committee of the publishers, provide
for an increase in advertising rates as
high as 80 1-S Der cent and reduction of
display advertising space as much as .
per cent in order to meet the paper short
age.
BEYOND SERIOUS STAGE
With. paper selling at cents per pound,
even this action will not be enough to
avert the crisis, and to save those jour
nails not financially very strong, in the
opinion of Mr.. Gladfelter.
THE paper situation has grown be-
yond the serious stage. 1t IS going to
spell financial catastrophe for many of
the weaker journals, in my opinion
said Mr., Gladfelter.
THE resolution adopted by the South
ern Newspaper Publishers association
shows the true condition of affairs as
the publisher sees them, and it only fol-
lowed in the footsteps of the American
Newspaper Publishers association, which
adopted a similar resolution Wednesday.
ut is not question of how much
publishers will have to pay for white
paper-t is how much can they get. Few
papers can pay price of or s cents.
