the ambition of each artist to pro-

Some of these masterpieces reach
supreme felicity or expression. The
pygmies of today can only wonder
at the genius that produced them.

BOSTON, Oct. 1.-The drop in the
price of sugar has caused a shrink
age in value of at least $250,o0O,0OO
according to an estimate made to At
torney- General Allen by Edwin F.
Atkins, head of local sugar firm
and an official Of several of the
largest companies in this country and
Cuba. Stocks of sugar in this coun-
try are enormous, he said, estimating
them at 100000 tons.
The encouragement who is MAX

ton vita special reference to recent
high prices. expressed the opinion
that when the drop in price came the
American Sugar Refining company
should have absorbed some of TIE
loss as a means OF helping small
dealers who had stocked up at the
higher prices. The Encouragement
said he had knowledge that the COM

Mr. Atkins said absorption of part

sand Spread Broad
cast.

With the addition of Olive Tell.
Lillian Walker, Texas Guinan ana
Montague Love to the list of movie
stars, who will accompany Marcus
Loew to the opening of the Loew's
State theater, Main street, next
Thursday, comes an added dispatch
that three camera men will entrain
at New York to film all activities at
tending the local reception.
A considerable amount of footage
will undoubtedly be used at Union
station with the arrival of the spe-
cial car bearing Mr.. Eoew, II. q.
Danforth, prominent in New York
financial circles, and the stars. With
a list of 20 the local turnout of movie
fans, anxious to gain CLOSE up"
view of their favorites, is expected to
be tremendous.
The unusual wide entrances to the
station will afford an excellent OPP
portunity for not only sightseers but
amateur photographers, the latter ele-
ment always found in abundance with
the arrival of screen celebrities. Dur
ing the time consumed in the making
of the moving pictures by the pro-
fessional cameramen, there is also
expected hand shaking fest.
The four additions to the dis
patches carry names of natiopal repu-
tations. Montague Love, long since n
star in his own right, Is now engaged
with a special company for Norma
Talmadge's forthcoming picture. Mr..
Love Is an Englishman. and prior to
his screen debut met with tremen-
dous success on the legitimate stage.
Olive Tells beauty is as an i'm
portant factor to her wide following
as her ability as an emotional ac-
tress. In making the Memphis trip
she leaves for several days her new
est production now in the making
and which is expected to be com
pleted by the new rear.
Lillian Walker and Texas Guipau
are types loved b. movie fans in IeV-
cry territory. Miss Walker is one OF
the first cinema stars of the progress
sive era in motion pictures, while
Miss Guinan's dash and pep
brought her from vaudeville to le'
climate stage ranks to her famous
screen career.
Much interest is being manifested
locally in the coming of Bert Lytell
the famous Loew-Metro star, whose
latest production, THE Price of Re
demption," will be the stellar attrac'
ton Of the photoplay part of thu
