The ordering of government food by

has taken great slump. according to
Postmaster w. o. Rigby, Monday only
five or six orders were received. The
reason for this. Rigby believes. is the

A large number of orders can still
be supplied from the allotment. The
total sales to date run nearly $1,000.
No word has been received by the

ly the officers were advised that they

mighty fine play Saturday, partners
Three" A star with charm, personality
and ability, story that has merit, dl-
rector that knows how to get the best out
of material afforded him, and well-se-
lected supporting cast, all tend to make
this production very satisfactory one.
While developed in melodramatic style,
there is none of that gruesomeness with
which the average melodrama is SO Spiel
ly favored. The scene shifts from New
York cafe to a Western town bordering
on the desert. The desert scenery, the
rock formations and the huge cactus are
wildly portrayed by excellent photog-
raphy. Director Niblo has introduced
quite novelty in dispensing with the
heroine's courtship and marriage to man
whom she believed worthy of her unfail
ing trust. Suspense and interest have
been we'll sustained throughout

Harold Lockwood, Friday.

Cyril Hammersley,a young English sports
man, the girl whom he is to marry, mid
dle-aged English peer and German spy
are central figures in Harold Lockwood's
late picture "Shadows of Suspicion" to
be seen on the screen Friday of this week.
Mystery, romance and adventure are so
cleverly interviewer in drama that the
height of entertainment on the screen is
reached, and through it all runs the Won
derful personality of Harold Lockwood,
considered by the critics to lie the screens
most likable romantic actor. Naomi
Childers, whose beauty has attracted New
York's greatest artists, and whose face
has adorned the covers of many of the
most popular magazines, is seen In chief
support of Mr.. Lockwood. William Bailey
and Bigelow Cooper, two of the screens
best known character actors, have prin-
cipal supporting roles. The star, the cast
and the story are examples of the best
that photodramatic entertainment offers.

Orders of the Purple Sage" Thursda

t'Riders of the Purple Sage Thursday.
Lassiter and Venters and Jane, and all
the other famous characters in "Riders of
the Purple Sag e." William Fox's picturi-
cation of Zane Grey's great novel of
Western life, are to be at Colonial Theatre
on Thursday. We feel sure that you, too,
will be there, for we know that nothing
so appeals to true blooded American as
a drama set in the heart of America. If
any doubt as to this conclusion remained,
we would only have to mention that Will
liam Farnum, Americas most representa-
tive actor, portrays the role of Lassiter
in "Riders of the Purple Sage" The an
nouncement of such combination-Zane
Grey, Western writer; William Farnum,
supreme in Western characterizations,
and a setting that embraces the vast pur-
ple-tinted mesas Of the Great Sou invest
alone is sufficient to thrill every picture
lover.
Photographically as well as dramatical-
ly, this fine production is rare achieve
ment. With action it combines that most
elusive element to Observation-Disclosures
phere. And such action!
Also on Thursday as an added attrac-
ton, pictures of Belfast Bay, taken in
winter of 1918 when the harbor was
frozen These pictures will surely offer
a great contrast with the present weather.

Dustin Farnum and Pearl White, Tuesday

Patrons of the Colonial theatre will
welcome Dustin Farnum in his big United
superfeature, 'The Light of Western
Stars" which will be shown here Tues
day. This famous stage and screen star
will be seen as the wild, but lovable Gene
Stewart, ace cowboy of the South West
ern border. With Dustin Farnum's virile,
convincing talent and the most thrilling
ly fascinating of Zane Grey's mastery
stories the picture teens with exciting
interest. The plot deals with the adven-
lures which arise out of Gene Stewards
wild wager that he would marry the first
girl who blew into the little Western
town. When he has carried out his wager
further than he knew and the girl proves
to be the sister of the rancher whose fore
man Stewart is, things happen quick, and
the audience swings between hope and
fear right up to the final picture. In his
staging of the production Charles Swiek-
ard has caught the authors wonderful
inspiration. The photography is magnifi
Gently beautiful in subject and in execu-
ton. Winifred Kingston is fascinating
leading woman and the support is excel
lent throughout,
Pearl White in the latest episode of
