The fnost gorgeous sets that have ever been used in a society motion picture play were used in Elsie Fer. suson's new Artcraft picture, "The Marriage Price" which will be shown at the Coliseum theatre tonight and Wednesday. The drawing room is replica of Frank Gould's draw ing room on that millionaire's Lake wood estate. The furniture was made especially for the set and the paint ings, tapestries, rugs and bric-abrac is worth a small fortune.
 The bedroom set is done in orchid coloredz enamel with a narrow line are covered with shades of orchid silk and the bed set, dresser fittings and rugs contrast strikingly with the color scheme Several interior dec orators visited the Famous Player Lasky studios to look at the sets beautiful pieces of artistic work that have yet been shown in tho stpdios Copies of rooms in the Plaza and St. Regis Hotels of New York are shown perfectly in this pie tufe.
 sAnotfier remarkable set is the racing stable, copied from Frank Goulds stable at Lakewood. Real marble floors were laid in the studio, instead of the painted cloths which used to satisfy the public taste. The stalls were made Of mahogany with marble columns. Carved walls and stained glass windows complete the elaborate set.
 Miss Ferguson plays the part of society woman in The Marriage Price," who. becomes impoverished and seeks to make her own living with more or less success There is pretty love story and the situ- ations are quite dramatic. Wynd ham Standing is the leading man.

A Cowardly Surrender

THE House OF Representatives has
passed the bonus bill by an overwhelm-
ing majority. More than two-thirds OF the
members of that body were stampeded in
voting for piece of legislation that moro
than two-thirds know in their hearts is
against the best interests of the nation and
legislation which they know never will be
enacted into law. They are holding out a
false hope to the ex-scrvce men and the
time Will come when they will be appro-
priatcly punished for having yielded to the
opportunities Of an unworthy lobby.
Political eXpediency and only that made
possible the passage of the bonus bill.
Members of Congress, threatened by the
loss of the votes Of former soldiers and
sailors, disregarded the duty they owe to
the country whole and leaped desper-
atcly for the soldier-votc band wagon.
Their surrender is indcfensibe and while
some OF them may save their seats in the
House or imagine that they have done so,
they will feel nothing but shame for hav-
ing given their support to measure which
they know is contrary to manifest welfare
OF the American people.
While the vote was forced and carried
by the Republican leadership Of the House
it is Il shameful fact that more than two
score of Democrats lined up with the ma
jcrity. The greater responsibility for this
effort To loot the Federal Treasury is upon
the Republican organization, but the minor
ity Democrats who went over to that or
ganization on the final vote must assume
individually their share of that RESPONSE
bility.
1t is. fortunate circumstance that the
Senate will refuse 10 pass this measure be-
fore the coming recess. 1t may refuse to
pass it at all. If it goes over in the SEN
ate until after the November election it
will never become law The incentive
back Of the House vote will have dissolved.
There will no longer be eXpediency to serve,
and even ii by some mischance the legisla-
ton should he forced through tho Senate.
there will be Woodrow Wilson with the
veto power in his hand to kill it. That
he will exercise that power without hcs-
