By ANNE JORDAN

David Graham Phillips widely read novel, The Cost" that wonderful DOT trayal of the price paid fcf an unhappy welded life, has been cleverly dramatized as a starring vehicle for Violet fleming, and is the attraction at the Strand for today and Wednesday. It is a Para mount-Artcraft feature, and all that that name implies.
 The captions and the settings have that captivating touch that distinguishes the Paramount-Artcraft products, and Miss fleming is a most capable as well as beau- tiful actress.
 Violet fleming, who registered such a success in "Everywoman," plays the lead ing part, that of Pauline Dumont who marres against her fathers advice and goes to live in New York with her hus- band. Success turns her husbands head. for through his fathers influence he has become head of the wooden trust. lie falls for the charms of the wife of one of his employees. Pauline is asked to play at a musicale given by one of her friends
 She looks across the courtyard of her friends apartment, and sees her hus- band in the arms of another woman. She returns home, and the next morning she decides that she must pay the price or her folly in marrying against her fath- CTS wishes. She resolves to continue IS Dumont's wife in name only. Pauline spends most of her time at the home of her father in the middle west. While she is visiting there with her child, Du- mont sends an agent out to corrupt the politics of that state and prevent an honest man, Scarborough, from being elected governor. This agent asks Pauline to keep a sum of money in her safe, and when she finds out what it is for she refuses to give it up.
