FAMOUS STAGE
PLAY TODAY AT
THE COLONIAL

Ethel Barrymore never had a more
successful play than Cousin Kate.
Presented by Charles FrOhman. it en-
joyed two long and highly success
full runs AS q screen story it is far
ahead of the stage version, for many
of the scenes are given that could be
only limited at back of the footlights.
Cousin Kate" will be the feature at
traction at the Colonial theatre today
with Alice Joyce in the role played
by Miss Barrymore. Everywhere 1t
has been presented, it has attracted
crowds SO big that they have filled
the streets. Equally pleasing to both
young and old, it is one of the few
big pictures that will always be good
The screen version of Cousin
Kate" was directed by Mrs. Sidney
Drew
Few stage characters have been
more greatly loved by the theatre go
ing public than Cousin Kate" who
shocked her conventional relatives by
her daring writings and won their
affection and regard for her good
sense and her loyal womanly quail
ties.
Hundreds of scenes which in the
spoken drama We're only told of in
the four acts are shown in the picture
version, giving the fascinating story
a completeness it could not attain be-
fore, and increasing its wonderful
charm.
No expense has been spared by
Nitagraph in finding and preparing
the many locations for the remark
able picture, and the result is one OF
the most attractive productions of
the year.
Fresh from the Country" is the
title of a sparkling new Educational
comedy that will also be on the bill
today. The New Screen Magazine
and Kilograms will be there as usual.

cost the State $1,000: the express on
the coins and what advertising was
done concerning them, cost several
hundred dollars; so that the total
cost of the coins when ready for sale
was between $4,000 and $4,000.
They were intended to be ready
for the public in time for the thou
sands of summer guests, the Cen
tennial year bringing many addi-
tional people into the State and they
being depended on to take a large
share, as souvenirs. Our own home
people were also supposed to be eager
to get them.
The coins did not arrive until
after practically all the summer peo-
Pile had gone home. The price of 81
per coin was made-the coins were
offered for sale.
They sold-some of them. The
total receipts up to June l, 1921 was
$1O,8S3.75. Up to June 80, 10,003
coins have been disposed Of, and
some of those to banks, which have
the privilege of returning them to the
State at the full value paid for them.
Two banks have within the last three
months returned 100 of them.
The Present Governor and Elk
ecutive Council recently passed an
order authorizing the State treasurer
to dispose of the coins at the follow
ing reduced rates: In lots of 10 to
40, at per cent. discount; lots of so
to 80, at 10 per cent. off; 100 to 499,
at Is per cent. off; and 500 or over,
at 20 per cent. off.
Just 835 coins have been taken at
these rates. including 1S5 at per
cent; so at 10 per cent: 100 at IS
per cent; and 500 at 90 per cent,
The other 1O.16S coins disposed of
were at the 81 fiat rate.
The Bath Chamber of Commerce
has recently taken up the matter,
with a view of securing the disposal
of the remainder of the coins. It's
members believe and the Board of
Directors have voted to express that
belief to the Governor and Executive
Council, that they should be put into
circulation at their face value and
not keep that amount of money tied
up and idle. drawing no interest and
doing but little good
1t is probable that this plan may be
suggested to the Council at its meet
ing on Friday, July 1. What action
will be taken is of course unknown.
