Loew's oIumbia-Bessie Barriscale
in "Her Purchase Price,

All the vivid dramatic coloration
of the Orient is backgrounded in the
latest Bessie Barriscale success.
Her Purchase Price" which open
ed a four-day engagement at Loew's s
Columbia yesterday as the feature
OF the program. Her Purchase
Price" is a story Of intense dramatic
and emotional appeal. barbaric in
its richness and sweeping in its
scope. 1t Is a story of great ro-
mantle depth and it incidentally
raises the question of whether the
woman Of the East is sold at a
lower price than the woman of the
West.
Miss BarriscaIe assumes the role
of a girl who is the sole survivor
of a caravan massacre by Arabs.
She is brought up in slavery to an
Arab sheik. sold at the market place
as a punishment for a love affair
with young English nobleman, is
purchased by her lover and taken
to England. Coming in contact
there with a new order of life
and intrigue. she believes that her

other nobleman, but before she can

NJ. B. Havey and in summarizing IT,
