THE MERRY WIDOW |s
 \ GREAT PHOTO PLAY

One of the finest pictures it has been the public's pleasure to see was presented last night at the Liberty the- atre, where it will be- shown for the last time tonight It is entitled "The Merry Widow" The production is a splendid piece of workmanship and shows Mae Murray and John Gilbert, as co-stars, doing the best work of their varied and brilliant careers. Efich van Stroheim whose directorial genius and ~immortalized Foolish Wives" has fulfilled similar func. tion with "The Merry Widow"
 Laid in a mythical Balkan kingdom, the picture reflects all the glamour, fascination and beauty of the Contin- ent. The settings are nothing short of exquisite and the coronation se- quence done in natural colors is of such beauty and splendor that it will long be remembered by all those for utnate enough to see the picture
 The story is replete with surprises and moves at pace that keeps the spectator enthralled during every mo- ment of it's unfoldment It tells of the romantic adventures of a dashing young prince (admirably we'll DOT trayed by John Gilbert) and a viva cious Irish-American dancer (deftly characterized by Mae Murray.) It is brimful with surprises and thrills, and it's climaxes lead one to another with refreshing swiftness as a series of beautiful tableaux mark the progress of the plot.
 Erich von Stroheim, besides direct ing the film, is responsible with Ben jamin Glazer for the well-knit scen- ario prepared from the famous stage play by Victor Leon, Leo Stein and Franz Lehar, as produced by Henry w. Savage.

LIENS POPULAR IN
 BUILDING CIRCLES
Furnishers of Material Step in
 as Bankers Step Out

Steadily increasing numbers of mechanics liens being filed at the office of the town clerk, together with bankruptcies in which local handlers of building materials are said to be heavy creditors, are taken as indication of an approaching re- action in the building circles.
 Frightening" of money available for building and an increase in mechanics liens usually go hand In hand. When banks no longer show an inclination to back up builders with finances, houses handling ma terials for construction very often furnish the backing. taking lien on the structure. which gives them a preferred claim.
 A'recent local bankrupt who list ed heavy liabilities named handlers of building supplies as his chief creditor and several other builders who made heavy investments during the past few years have been liening their properties extensively of late, the town clerks records show.
 Six-family houses are now regard ed a drug on the local market One owner of three advances q proposi- ton offering two months free rental on q years lease and other eXtraor dinary inducements are frequently heard in the rental offices.
 Should there be cessation Of building activities its effect will not be felt in the building trades for several months since structures now being built will require the services of tralesmen for at least that length of time, persons familiar with the market declare.

This years pro. nouncemonts ranged from m af- ilrmation Of his Christian faith 10 comment on the recent marriage of Edward W. Browning, 5l, to il l5-year-old girl,
 He is convinced that he will live Ia celebrate the eight birthdays in- terroning between today and the century mark, and his campaign 10 reach the goal is based on very simple rules; Think about cheer tul things; don't brood or be mor- bid; don't be angry or hate things; cultivate young people; laugh and make others laugh, for Gods most useful creature is he who makes two smiles grow whore there was one before. Above all be moderate in everything"
