"WHAT'S WIFE WORTHY-
A PERFECT PHOTOPLAY

William Christy Cabanne's new
Robertson-C super-special produc
ton whats Wife Worth ?" will be
the leading attraction at the Liberty
theatre beginning Monday for a run
of two days. Mr.. Cabanne, who was
the author and director of 1.-THE
Stealers," has given the screen one
of the most wholesome comedy
dramas in his latest picture. Critics
agree that the photoplay, judged from
all angles, is as near perfection as
possible.
The story tells of the marriage of
wealthy mans son and a village
belle. OF the early disruption of the
union by malicious acquaintance.
How, following the divorce, a son is
born and how the mother sees in him
the image of his father and is devated
to him. The wealthy mans son mar
ries again and baby is born to his
second wife, but dies. The substitu-
ton, by the family physician, of the
son by his first wife for the dead
baby, finally brings about a recon-
Citation between mother and father.
Mr.. Cabanne selected an excellent
cast to tell the story. Included are:
Ruth Renick, Casson Ferguson, Alex
B. Francis, Cora Drew, Howard Gage
and Virginia Caldwell.

Big STONE GAP
AFTER HIGHWAY
Mayor Horsley Urges Job
bers to Aid in Building
Connecting Link in Road

Knoxville is the natural whole
sale distributing point for rich ter
ritory around Big Stone Gap, and
years ago her dealers were about thu
only ones whclcsaling here" W. ]
Iorslcy, the mayor of the Virginia
town, who was a visitor to Knox.
vile this week, told Sentinel re-
porter.
Mayor Hershey is member of the
commercial clnb of Big Stone GAP
and one Of the most enthusiastic
good roads boosters in that section
OF the country, and his remarks here
chiefly concerned roads and the nee
cssity for linking Knoxville with his
hometown by good highway.
Mayor Ilorslcy said that of the
late years Knoxville jobbers and
wholesalers had neglected sending
their statesmen there in any great
number and that much of the trade
of the territory was going elsewhere,
and he urged that dealers here take
advantage of the fertile field for
business and encourage the building;
of roads to that section.
al present Knoxville is connect
cd with Big Stone Gap by Il highway
leading to Cumberland Gap and
thence to your city" the mayor said.
This road is in fair condition ex-
cept for "a short distance between
Rose Hill and JonesviIc in Lee
county, and which would connect
with the Wise county, Virginia, sys-
tenn Of roads on which more than
81 100000 have already been spcn,
and more is being expended to dcvel-
op highways that will tap the entire
conl mining country.
But the most important road for
Knoxville and Big Stone Gaps mu-
tual interest,"" he continued, would
be- one following the Southern Rail
way to Dunield, thence to kyles
Ford, Rogersville and on to Knox
Vile. There are no mountains OF
hills on this route and an excellent
grade could be maintained. Com
pletion Of this highway would mean
that statesmen out of Knoxville could
make Il loop trip, either via Cumber-
land Gap to Big Stone Gap or via
Duilield to Big Stone Gap and thence
to Cumberland Gap and on home.
81 believe it would be to the in
terest OF Knoxville merchants and
