PARIS WINE SALES DROP.
Foreigners Leaving Paris as Price
of Champagne Rises.

PARIS. January / Op).--There are
many empty tables in Montmartre
these nights. It isn't that champagne
costs any more than il did last sum
mer The price is what IL was few
months oco--from $50 to ESQ francs
bottle in most of the cabarets where
dancers sway to American tunes. The
difference is this: Last Summer $50
francs meant a little over 50. and now
adays $50 francs is about $40.
The foreigners have begun to leave
Paris. They constituted the bulk of
night life clientele.

Thursday, February "a, 1927

in many of the old Lubin productions
as a child, she finished school, and
then went right back into pictures as
Lloyd Hamilton's leading lady. She
held this post for over year when
she went with Sennett and became
featured player in the Smith Family
Comedies. A consummate actress,
Ruth Hiatt brings to the screen fin
ished technique and personality that
have won for her host of friends.
The Spokane woman. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1921-1935, 1927-02-24

One of the worlds most seductive
screen charmers--being made violent
love to by the champion lovemakers
of two nations-this is the unique
combination of the screen in Flesh
and the Devil" which comes Saturday
to the Clemmer theatre.
Greta Carlo, blonde charmer of the
screen and famous star from Europe,
will know forever the difference be-
tween American and European love-
making as a result of her role in the
new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture
in fact, she had to act as a sort of
judge of a battle for supremacy be-
tween the lovemakers of the Amer
lean and the Swedish screen cham
pions.
One of her screen lovers is John
Gilbert, hero of "The Merry Widow"

and famous for his romantic roles
the other is Lars Hanson, the "Swed-
ish Barrymore"
These three form a strange triangle
in the new picture, vivid drama of
modern Europe, filmed by Clarence
Brown from "The Undying Past" by
the great European dramatist, Her.
mann Sudermann.
1t is a gripping story based on
sociological conditions in the old
world, hanging on traditions of love
and marriage, and with Miss Carlo
in the role of a seductive modern
Gree whose beauty and charm lures
men to run. John Gilbert plays one
of her lovers, and Hanson the other
who marries her to precipitate one
of the most powerful dramatic situa-
tions ever portrayed on the screen.

Looking past her, he saw Give Low

very hard.
Later Bill thought it was typical
of the young man that he should

others might have gone about with
greater circumspection. 1t happened
