Lasky Co. at Holly- tive medicine, are the best foi-ms of I ARCADE "The Price of Power" Stirring Labor Play. ' A remarkable play is "The Price of Power," the Fine Arts-Triangle pro duction, coming to tihe Arcade thea tre Sunday. It is full of realism in showing a modern cotton mill in full operation and a strike in which brick bats and clubs figure. There is also a thrilling struggle between a worth leas scion of an idle rich woman and a beautiful factory girl. There is such swift action in the play and it is so lightened witthi touches of hum or that any too intensely .tragic fea ture is made endurable and the whole effect is appealing and worth while. Orrin Johnson plays with versatil ity three different roles, representing the same man under different circum stances end ut various times in his career. Gladys Brockwell is realistic in Ihler characterization of the factory girl who wins the ambitious young mechanic by her forward appear ance and physical charms. Vera Lewis as the wife of the magnjito makes clear the shallow, frivolous na ture that spoils Ihler son and forgets her husband as soon as he is out of her sight. Spottiswoode Aitken is cast as the aged father of a working girl. He shows the fiery spirit of the old workman, wlDo stirs up the men SHERRY'S At Sherry's Tomorrow.' Harold Lockwood and May Allison, the popular Metro-Quality stars, will be seen on the screen here at Sherry's tomorrow in "The Masked Rider," a thrilling five-part production of mys tery, romance and adventure. They are surrounded by a strong support ing cast, including Lester Cuneo, the well-known heavy leading man; John MaaDonald, Howard, Truesdcll, Har ry Linkcy, Harry Berkfinart, H. W. Willis and Clarissa Selwynn. The story of "The Masked Rider is laid in the mountains of North Carolina, where most of the scenes were photographed. Through special arrangements the Metro players were given permission by the government to use a deserted moonshlning still and rendezvous for some exciting scenes. The old Bat Cave Inn also figures prominently in this feature. Mr. Lockwood is seen at his best in "The Masked Rider." He is given unlimited opportunity to display his jrrowess and horsemanship in a score of sensational situations. Miss Alli son as the mountain gi!r, is thorough ly nt home in hvr purr, for she is in reality a daughter of the southland. One of the spectacular scenes in the production is the dynamiting of an underground hiding place of a gang of desperate moonshiners. ! j j MOVIE NEWS. ' iFrank Alexander, a Union County lioy and whose father was for sever al years in business in Imblcr, is push ing to the front rapidly in movie relms. While living in Portland Frank nigned up with the Keystone people but the first of July he transferred to the Fox Film Co., a new company and receives the handsome salary of ?76 per week as a starter. Alexan der tips the scales nt more than 800 end no doubt will make a hit with movie fans. His father is spending part of the summer in Imbler and appears to be highly pleased with his "little boy." (Willinm farnum thinks he is the only actor in moving pictures who has the distinction of having been born en the Fourth of July. "I'll bet Geo. Cohan would be will- ing to start all over again to be able to say that,". Farnum said in telling of it. "The year was that of the Cen tenial celebration, bo you see the 'spirit of '76' was mixed up in it, too, so, if I am not a patriotic, blown-in-the-bottlc Yankee, I am nothing." There is no limit to a screen stao's ambition. Ann Pennington, now a star on the Paramount program, wants to lie able to act like Sarah Bernhardt and have money like Harry Lauder. Her first part on the screen will be that of Susie iSnowflake in the Famous Players production of the same name. Uttle Billy Jacobs, the five-year-old child actor, who scored such a suc cess with Marie Doro in the Lasjjy production of "The Heart of Nora Flynn," has been engaged to play a part in support of Victor Moore in "The Clown," under the direction of .Wm. C. De Mille. Immediately upon conclusion of "The Clown," Mr. Moon Will start on nnother production. Sunday School Teacher Can any boy tell me what comes after-"the Acts ?

Miss Farrar has leased Blanch Ring's home near the Laskey studios for the summer and states that picture work in the summer is a vacation compared with the idle ness of winter in New York. Lou Tellegren first met Miss Farrar in the Lasky studios. 4 Louise Huff, who has just joined the Famous Players forces, went to Block Island to get the proper lo cations for her 'first picture, which will appear shortly on the Paramount program. While down on the shore she decided to rush the season a lit tle and to take a plunge into the sound. It was probably the ' brief iest dip that was ever recorded since the invention of salt water. Eye witness es declare that Miss Huff dove into the water, but by the time she had been submerged "down" to her waist she decided to come out and back wat er so vigorously that her feet never got wet at all. This is branded as a falsehood by Miss Huff. ' "What wouil you call an attack on three policemen by one man?" Stuart Holmes, the Fox fltlnin, asked. "An assault," his friends reDlied. "Whv not an attack of the blues?" asked Holmes, who is neutral. community investments. More than .thirty thousands teachers were en rolled at the fifty-fourth annual ses sion of the association.
