NEW YORK. April 27.-Warnine
ton in the newsprint market, T. r.
Williams. president af the American
Newspaper Publishers association. in
his address opening the thirty-fourth
convention of that body today told
publishers newspaper rates should no;
be allowed to descend.
He urged upon newspaper publish
ers the need of cooperating with gov
eminent forces in restoring world
peace and bringing business conditions
back to normally and especially in
repeating unnecessary wartime legis-
lation and obnoxious features of fed
eral taxation laws. These, he said.
have admittedly been greatly respon-
sible for the upsetting of sanely con
Quoted business.
With these fundamentals estab-
lished," he declared, lit will be with
more telling effect that newspapers
can continue preaching the gospel OF
optimism, the restoring of confidence,
the bringing back to normally of our
country's business.
Production Cost High
obviously the accomplishment of
these things forms the solution of our
present newspaper problems, which
gathered together and boiled down to
phrase is abnormally high cost of
production"
He pointed out that newspapers
must meet the problems in both ma
terials and labor since the average
contract price of newsprint for the
first six months of this year is higher
than the average contract price for
all last year, and labor is at the high
est point known

Starting next Saturday, the Rialto will screen the William Fox spectac- uIar superfeature, Queen of Sheba." This production is so well known that everyone is more or less familiar with 1t. The motion picture journals. the press of the country. periodicals of all sorts have devoted a great amount of space to the merits of this super attraction. It has battered every house record wherever 1t has been played, its recent engagement at Los Angeles extending into weeks, with no letup in the interest or the attend ance.
 It has been produced on a scale more lavish in the beauty and daring than any recent production. Its cast numbers hundreds numbers hundreds, many of the foremost players in the realm of shadowland, and the fact the Ria1to will screen the feature without advance in prices is another evidence of the determination of the management to offer only the very highest class of film entertainments.

NEW DAVID POWELL
 FILM FOR STRAND

David Powell in "The Princess of New York;" his latest Paramount starring picture, is underlined for an engagement at the Strand starting Wednesday. Romance and exciting adventure combine to make this a photoplay of unusual merit.
 It deals with a young American girl, daughter of a steel magnate of New York, who in London has become known as "The Princess of New York" On the voyage over she has met Allan Merstham, son of Sir George Merstham, noted card sharper. The son, like his father. is unscrup- ulous, and seeks the girls riches, try ing marriage as the proper course. The girl likewise has met Godfrey Kingsward, an Oxford student, who falls in love with her. The girl adopts Godfrey as a .'brother." The elder Merstham, believing that the suit of his son is going along famous ly, borrows heavily from a creditor fin order to keep up appearances. He offers to introduce the American girl into society. At this juncture Geof- frey warns the girl of her danger, a danger which becomes apparent when her money and jewels are stolen, and the police enter the story. From this point excitement and thrills tumble over each other in the rapid fire order of the sequence.
 "The Princess of New York is Da- vid Powell's biggest role since "On With the Dance" in which he shared honors with Mae Murray last season, and wih doubtless find ready favor with his many admirers locally.
