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.

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

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

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.
