There are two distinctly separate plots to the story Our Mutual Friend'' The main theme deals with John Harmon. alias John Handford, alias John RokesInith, and his wife, Belle Wilfer The latter role is play ed by Miss Rosemary Marlin, a fasci- hating little blond. It is safe to say that without Wegg, Boffin and the lit tie taxider1nist this plot could not exist These three men show just why Dickens is immortal
 In the underp1ot the chief charac- ters are Lizzie Hexas, daughter of Gaffer HeXaS, whose occupation is that of taking the dead from the sea, robbing them and them bringing them ashore, and Eugene Wrayburn, a young and handsome lawyer with whom Lizzie falls in love.

Charles Dickens world-famed novel is just as good on the screen as IL was-and is. in book-form- What more can one add to such a state nlent?
 Melodrama and romance are a large part of the standard fare Of the theatre. but rarely are they so beautifully presented as in Our Mu- tuaI Friend The production is a perfectly acted picture, produced with unusual fidelity To transplarI ant the quaint and quizZ:cal atmosphere and the environments of Dickens time into the realities of today requires a fine capacity and understanding The millions of persons who have revelled in the Dickens w:t and humor will now be tremendously enlarged and many persons who merely tolerate screen drama will feel that their at ritude has been a mistaken one.
 Our Mutual Friend as is doubt less recalled, is a story of mystery misers. intrigue. plotting; of greed and goodness. It is at times, frankly rnelodrama and at times a deeply sen timental love story for lovers of all ages The chief feminine personal ity in an irreproachable cast is a lit tie blonde beauty, Rosemary Mar lin, who will win her way straight to your heart She acts with unre- straint and with a great deal of un- derstanding.

| What's New
on the Market
BY REX STEWART

With the drop in wholesale
price of Strawberries from $7.5C
to SIS crate, the retail price
ought to be around rs cents boz
Saturday. There is some shrink.
age that the dealer must make up
due to the long distance which
the berries travel before their ar,
rival here, which accounts fol
their present price.
Fancy veal has dropped to 12
cents in wholesale price. There
will be no material change in re-
tail quotations for a few days.
Information that the smelt run
is over is incorrect. They are still
running in the Sandy, but not as
heavy as last week. Neither is the
run in the day time as heavy as
that at night because of the great
number of people fishing which
frightens the smelt to the center
OF the stream out of their reach.
The market price is still four
pounds for 25 cents.
Shrimp meats can be obtained
for 70 cents pound.
Eggs have remained steady dur
ing the fore part of the week with
no change in prospect.
