sold to Philadelphia brokers for 1.6
cents; once in private hands, this
beef went on the. market at 81 cents

time that the army was in the retail

direct to the consumer for more than
81 cents pound. Such was only one

May 27, the same day the new post
ponement OF the Baker Mccormick
wedding was announced here in
Paris Few but intimate friends OF
Baxter knew OF his condition.
Miss Baker and Barry Baxter were
friends. Associates limited et a closer
feeling than mere friendship. When
the hrst pOstponement OF the Baker
Mccormick wedding occurred, Bax-
ter was mentioned in the United
States press. They had frequently
ridden together and were joint guests
at many parties in Chicago while
Baxter was playing there.
When Miss Baker sailed for Eu
rope. April Il. she said 10 New York
reporters:
There has been no change what
ever in my original plans. Upon ar
irving iu Europe my mother and
will go direct 10 Paris 10 visit my
I friend, the Countess de jane, for
merry Alice Silverthorne. for a week
want 10 buy something too. Then
we shall Join Mr. Mccormick in Lon
/ don, go to his brothers estate in
Surrey, and be married in May"
May has passed. June is well under
way. but still no wedding bells. BaN-
ter's death lent a touch OF tragedy
TO what was jointly comedy and ro-
nance.

NEW YORK. June 10.-(By y. r.
A)-"The mystery OF love IS greater
than the mystery Of death" This
legend serves as the opening and
closing subtitle of NazOmova's screen
version Of "Salome."
It is like stating an hypothesis and
proceeding with the proof until %.
i. D." IS arrived at.
Her portrayal OF the role OF Sa-
lone Is based on oscar Wilde's story
and Audrey Beardsley's pictures.
Thus the film, presents the familiar
story of Salome demanding the head
of the prophet on a silver charger
as reward for a dance she had exc
cuted for Herod. The prophet. hav-
ing refused her a kiss full upon the
lips in life, is ungraciously forced 70
yield in death. SalOme pays for that
kiss with her life
If you accept this as a love story,
the proposition IS satisfactory prov
ed. but there will re some who will
think that IL could have been better
stated If 1t had read THE mystery
Of lust is greater than the mystery
Of death" Perhaps that is for
psychiarists and psychOpathists to
determine. But Love will pass the
oensors and coat a bitter pill where
Lust would antagonize the Mes
danes Shows" and leave an unpleas-
ant taste.
If there be merit in telling a story
well in filming a picture with fault
less continuity and achieving a
higher mark Of pictorial beauty than
any film yet projected upon the
screen. then "Salome" must be re-
corded as one Of the outstanding
phOtoplays Of the decade
This film IS by all odds the best
made by NazimOva. 1t equals her
work on the spoken stage. The lat
ter statement is worthy tribute. for
she is one Of the greatest actresses
Of the age. The former is faint
praise, for Nazimova has been until
recently only a mediocre film star.
Nazimova was directed in ga
lone" by Charles Bryant. her hus-
band. He said 10 me the other day.
Ny wife and I have been entirely
sincere in the filming of this picture.

There was no consideration of what
would or would not prove popular
to the masses. The box office angle
was never in mind"
However, Bryant need have no
fear about the box office. Great
numbers still believe "Salome''
means a ~hootchy- koOtchy" dance
and flock to circus side shows to be
disappointed.
Those persons will be disappoint-
ed in the film, too. for the story has
been handled with rare delicacy.
Nazimova almost makes wilde suf-
ferable.
Thinking persons will find the film
rare treat. even though the story
itself prove disgusting. Students OF
Freud may find in this exotic film
some points in the theory Of sup
pressed desires. while those who
believe that the PHILOSOPHERS of
Wilde are mental alterations may
find support for that theory.
At least, "Salone" grips the at
tention and forces thought and that
stimulation Is lacking in most Of the
recent photoplays.
Speaking of continuity, stimula-
ton Of thought, censors and other
elements Of the photoplay reminds
me OF THE Ordeal" Agnes Ayres'
latest starring vehicle. That film
has the worst continuity of any 1
have seen in six months and is as
illogical. IF there is any merit in
censorship doubt it-this film
should be censored because it strives
10 show that a woman who deliberat-
ed the murder Of her husband to
gain his property and really thought
she had caused his death, should
live happily ever after because an
others act, unknown 10 her. brought
