Now what in the world am I going to give Cousin Claribel?
 "She always gives me something and of course she expects something from me.
 Tt seems to me she has everything afford it. I've got to give her some something unusual, Or she'll never Go- tice it. Or if she does notice it. she'll think I'm small and stingy.
 "Oh. dear. Christmas is an awful bore. It's so hard trying to think of things for people like her. things they don't need and really don't want. and yet l must ruin myself every year trying to keep up with the custom.
 T wish she wasn't so we'll off and then l could give her something use ful. It's always easy to find that sort of a gift.
 But Cousin Claribel' Oh, it's the limit
 Meanwhile Claribel was thinking: Well, here's my annual problem what to give Constance?
 She always gives me something and she knows very well that I'll give her something twice as valuable. I've got to. Nice thing it would be to have my poor relations out shine me at Christmas time.
 ''Oh, dear, and there's such lot of them and every one wants some thing useful.
 Now, if I could just pick up some pleasing trifle. not caring whether it fitted or suited, but just to show my good will, it would be easy. But necessities cost so much and it is so hard to think of just the one Constance needs most and not make it wicked waste of money by giv- ing her something she already has.

"Treasure Island"

Another classic from the realm of literature has reached the screen Tn Maurice Tourneur's production e Stevenson's Treasure Island" It IS to the credit of this directors artistic perceptions that he has been able to catch the charm and atmosphere Of the memorable story even though the scenario is not faithful adaptation. What if the character of Jim flaw kins. the boy hero. is deprived ot ms initiative and spirit--what if some CT the lesser figures are given more prominence than they deserve. These variations do not destroy the fabric of the tale. Rather are they permls- sible. to get every ounce Of acton from the translation.
 In order to visualize the ouistand' ing details. the scenarist has saken liberties with Stevenson and he may he excused upon the ground that even the screen has it's limitations However. the glamor, the atmos- phere. the color the fancy 6 the printed page. are caught effectively In Cur opinion the children will re spond enthusiastically to its stirring adventure and also those grown ups who haven't forgotten their youth because Mir Tourneur's action is graphic and the picturesque charac ters, Jim Hawkins, Bill Bones, Long

"The Slim Princess

The latest Goldwyn production in which Mabel Normand is starring is The Slim Princess" comedy which gives Miss Normand every fa- cility for revealing her well-known versatility and comedy ability. The atmospheer cfi the story is oriental and the plot Is set in Morovenia.
 "The Slim Princess" was written by that prince of comique stories, George Ade. and directed by Victor l.. Scheazinger. and will be one of Miss Normand's most popular pie lures.
 The story is based on the oriental custom of the unwed elder sister barring marriage for the younger. Kalora CMabeI Normand portrays the role of girl cursed with slim, beautiful figure. when stout rotun- dity is appreciated more by the youth of the city. In her endeavCrs to be come fat and suited to her station in life. Miss Normand dops an inflated rubber suit which. at q lawn fete, gets pUnctured and the much admir- ed Kalora stands before the startled eyes of Morovenian youtr, growing simmer and simmer with each mo ment. ij g z 5. iS
 This is but a glancing reference 40 the manifold amusing incidents in this picture.
 In support of Miss Normand is a small. but all-star cast. including the popular actor. Hugh Thompson; the famous character actor. Tully Mar shall: the stout and beautiful Lillian Sylvester. and Russ Powell. as Kaloras father and governor-general
Bisbee daily review., 1920-12-26

John Silver, Black Dog and the tloc1-thirsty pirates-these figures, with the exception of the first men tioned, are just as vivid as Stevenson painted them.
 The action on the pirate ship, the conflict on the island, the incidents which lead up to Jim's adventure these points are what make the pic ture retain the vital quality of the story. MT Tourneur, stickler for atmosphere has caught some mar yelous shots and his details lit with Stevenson's descriptions. One serious flaw the picture has. Jim is inter- preted by Shirley Mason, who. try as she might, is unable to make the character convincing because of her sex. Charles Ogle is immense as the peg-legged John Silver, and Lon Chaney gives another of his vivid character studies as one Cf the pirate cutthroats or two. The buccaneer crew is picturesque to the core. The same may be said of the ship. So long as the action suffices there is no need Of worrying over the tradi- tions of the story.
 This is Lawrence Reids criticism of Treasure Island" showing at the Central theater today and Monday.

"whx Change Your Wifey

'.Why Change Your Wife? the most sensational picture of the year, which has broken all records for long runs in Los Angeles, New York and other large cities, will be shown tc- day and Monday at the Eagle the ater.
 The theme of the picture IS a daT- ing one, expounding doctrine about married life which is worth careful study. and showing what happened 10 il man and wife who failed to get to- gether on d fifty-fifty basis in time to avert divorce and then another divorce. Gloria Swanson and Bebe Daniels are the wives. Thomas Meighan is the husband. All are ideal for their roles The picture has been magnificently staged. There are big sets, women's gowns that will make the women gasp and the men look twice. There are scenes which are bold and perhaps risque, but they have a place in the film and are not suggestive. The picture has moral It breaches that married people should not expect all the virtues in each other and must expect 10 make concessions. It also asks why change your wife when you won't gel better .one?'
 The production is Cecil E DeMille picture which rivals Male and Female" and other big Para mount-Artcraft features of the season and a special which every theater goer should not fail to see.

"Sundown Slim"

"Sundown Slim
 There are just twO-no, three rules for keeping happy and healthy on the desrt.' said H. Herbert Knibbs, by choice a wanderer on the sunbaked plains at least half of every year. He told tre rules to Harry Carey and the members of the "SundowD- Slim" company when he went with them for an eighteen-day location on the Mojave desert. Furthermore. he saw that they ob- served his rules. Here they are:
 Be careful what you eat.
 Drink very little water.
 Don't get excited.
 The last was the hardest rule for Val Paul. Carey's director. Many of the company also visited the olla more than they should. for the temp tation to drink was intense when the thermometer on the cool side of an adobe wall registered 122 degrees. Thanks to the care of Knibbs. only one case of sunstroke occurred. Harry Fowler, the cameraman, was the victim He succumbed fer three hours one evening and during the re- mainder of the time worked with an ice pack on his head The camera was covered with a cool pack, and an umbrella sheltered it from the direct rays of the sun.
 Shutdown Slim" will be shown at the Lyric Saturday.

Experimental Marriage,

Constance Talmadge. Selects charming and winsome star, is ably directed in her latest Select picture, Experimental Marriage by Robert C.. Vignola, whose name on produc- tion is the sign of a good picture.

He has also had a wide and varied ca Ieer as a director. producing many successful pictures, including Clara Kimball Young in "The Reason Why and "The Claw; "The Vampire" The Reward of Patience, Great Expectations" The Fortunes of Eff" Her Better Self and "The Love That Lives" His skilful hand ling of the vivacious comedy-plus- drapa, Experimental Marriage" in which Constance Talmadge is pre- which can be seen on Wednesday at the Lyric theater, stamps him as one of the foremost directors of the day.
 Experimental Marriage" which is an adaptation of the stage play. Saturday to Monday" by William J. Hurlbut. is a farce story of a wom- ans liberty after marriage. and is full of sprightly humor. Constance Talmadge is excellent in the charac- terization of Suzanne Ercoll. the widow who feared to marry again be- cause she thought she would be com pelled to sacrifice tCo much of he- dearly prized libertp. Popular liar rison Ford again plays opposite Miss Talmadge. Walter Hier, Vera Sisson, EdNhe Chapman, Maym Kelso and Raymond Hatton complete the cast.

9Th Poor Sin1p."

FOOi O'ifiF-
 The funniest thing that Owen Moore has ever done Cn the screen is his characterization of Melville Carruthers in the title role of 'The Poor Simp," 9 Selznick production now at the Lyric.
 The picture is a true farce comedy with the humor derived from the unique and complicated situations, and the unavailing but well-meaning efforts of his friends to eXtricate the leading character from his dilemma.
 A well-known cast of stage and screen favorites support the star. the direction of Victor He erman shows great understanding of comedy val Ir,es and the staging of the prcduc- tion is in the unusually pretentious style that one has become accus- toned to in productions from the Selznick studios. It will remain al the Lyric theater till Tuesday.

THE HIGH COST OF LoAFING

(Written Specially for The Bulletin.)
 "H. c. L."
 These symbolic letterg are not mys- terious. to anybody any more. They don't stand for any secret order or any hidden meaning. We practically all understand that they are an ab- breviation of the High Cost of Liv- ing."
 Which is something we're all much too familiar with.
 But do they? Do they always or even generally stand for that? Some weeks ago I noticed in Letters from the People, column in an Ohio paper a communication signed "A Polish Farmers Wife," in which the lady stated her assured conviction that "H. C. L." does not stand for High Cost of Living but for some thing quite different, to wit, namely, that is to say, for High Cost of Loaf ing. That was perhaps a month ago. A couple of weeks later I saw the same High Cost of Loafing" spread in big letters across the top of the lead ing article in one of the most widely circulated agricultural papers of the country. In this last, also, it was de- clared to be the real explanation of the letters.
 Ever since I've been wondering: wondering whether there wasn't something to it; something more than a joke, l mean.
 Probably there have been over eleven hundred explanations given by over eleven hundred know -it-alls of | the high cost of living No two alike And no one completely satisfactory | I'm not going to add another to the 1 number. But there are some few l things we can find out that the high
 cost of living is NOT due to. For in 1 stance, it is not due to conditions ex- l isting solely in the United States l This is shown by the fact that it is i higher and more damaging in all other civilized countries than it is here Tables prepared by competent Euro. pean authorities prove that the cost O l living has risen faster and higher ir 1 all European countries, and is now a, ] 8 higher level in them than in tn, United States. Indeed, many of then ! look to us with envy because we ar, | suffering so much less than others, il 1 proportion. Of course, this could no | be so if high costs were due to any l thing peculiar to this country. | Whatever the cause, it is practically | World-Wlde 1n its movement and ef 1 feet. It must be sought in world con
 dltions rather than in local sources i And the fact that we are not, on tn
 whole, so badly affected as most othe 1 countries seems to indicate that VI
 are not any more if indeed so muel 1 responsible as those others
 When we consider that for fou years about. twenty million able bodied
 men were taken away from the worl
 of raising and making things, and SC 1 to the exactly opposite task of de
 stroying things and killing each other
 we get pretty clear explanation 0
