Paying the Piper
Is Big Fitzmaurice
Production

The fourth and perhaps greatest
George Fitzmaurice Paramount pic
ture, Paying the Piper" by Ouida
Bergere, will be the attraction at the
Opera House for two days commenc-
ing Friday next This possesses the
same meritorious points that have
placed the Fitzmaurice productions
of "On With the Dance" The Right
to Love" and Idols of Clay" among
the best pictures recently produced.
The theme of the picture is based
on the thought that in the mad
scra mble for wealth, people are blind
to the finer things of life. and that
the world of possession does not
bring enduring happiness of content
ment. The principal characters are
finally regenerated when. through the
loss of their riches. they realize that
real living is not measured by dol
lars and cents.

Nowhere in the Eastern United
States have forest insects been as Sc

few species of trees found in the for

doubtedly the most serious insect pest
IN Maine. in spite of the fact that 1t
occurs periodically. At the present
time it is estimated that 80 per cent. OF
the mature spruce and 20 per cent. of
the mature fir throughout the State
has been killed The last infestation
of the bud worm destroyed approx
mately S70,Oo0,0o0 worth of mature
fir and spruce.
