The story of a woman who delib erately takes the place of another she believes dead, and is called to account after she has fallen in love with the man who befriended her, makes Theda Bara's new photoplay for William Fox one of exceptionally gripping heart interest. In "Her Double Life," Miss Bara plays the part of Mary Doone, who begins life at a disadvantage, as a child of the slums. She works her way to a high position in London so ciety then comes the discovery, and all is over. Sherry's last showing tonight. Mrs. P. 0. Stuchell Tells How She Cured Her Son of a Cold.

ARCADE "THE REWARD OF PATIENCE" Reviewed by Genevieve Motography. Harris in Patience was rewarded, after the sorrows which come to her through out the live reels of this picture, by a final union with the man she loved from the first scene. Louise Huff, in the title role of this Paramount pic ture that shows at the Arcade today and tomorrow plays the little Quaker maid with a wistful gentleness which is appealing. While the story of the play is not unusual in any way, and the principal situations have been used many times before, the marriage for money, the estrangement of husband and wife be cause of the former's devotion to work, the death of the wife and her lover, leaving the husband free to marry the girl he really loves, still it is presented in a fashion so pleasing and with so many human touches that it will have slight trouble "getting by." j ' The beginning scenes in the littl- Quaker town start the play out well, especially those containing the chil dren, the Sunday school episode, and others. These, and the pleasing ex terior scenes, are enjoyable. Then the story shifts to the city, and the little Quaker girl plays a prominent part as a secretary in the home of the hero during his short and unhappy married career. I John Bowers is well chosen as tho hero, Robert Penfield, Lottie Pickford, who reappears after a long absence j from the screen, has the role of Edith, who married Robert for his money, a bargain both regret. Adolph Men jou plays Paul Dunstan, with whom Edith elopes. Kate Lester appears as Robert's mother. 'The story is by Shannon Fife. The Story: Robert Penfield, a civil engineer, comes to tho Quaker village of Amity Center to supervise th; building of a bridge. He and Patience, a Quaker girl, become good friends, nnd when the fnther of Patience dies, Robert recommends the girl as a com panion for his mother. Patience has fallen in love with Robert und is deeply wounded when she learns, at his mother's home, that he is to marry o girl of his own class. This girl, Edith, is in love with Paul Dunston, but marries the wealthier Robert. After (he marriage, Robert's mother goes abroad but Patience re mains as secretary to Edith. She manages Edith's affairs and, after a baby is born, supervises its care whilo its mothor resumes her flirtation with Dunstan. Robert, absorbed in his work, docs not realize tho situation. Edith is jealous of Patience and of Robert's interest in her welfare, and discharges hor. A little later, when Dunstan inherits a fortune, she plans to elope with him. The two aro kill sJ on the runaway trip, and Robert is free to go in search of Pa'icncc, who had returned to her native village and was entertaining thougvits of suicide.

Store New York, November H. (Spe cial.) The people of America are not the only ones who are suffering from the increased cost of living. We are apt to believe when difficulties be set us that we are the only ones who have to face the problem and who de serve sympathy. In the necessities and comforts to which we are reasonably entitled, however, the advance that has been made in their force, has not been peculiar to this country, but ' is apparently general throughout the world. One of the largest banking institu tions in New York has been receiving world-wide Toports, and has made up a statement, that is most instructive on this subject. It finds among other things that the advanced cost for the necessities of life is not confined to those countries that are even remotely affected by the war. Increase in cost has come apparently because it is pos sible rather than from any justifica tion. The people of Jamaica have ad vanced the price for their log wood to three times what it was a couple of years ago. Tho indigo growers of India have made their prices ten times what they were before the beginning of the vva. Chinese and Japanese silks have doubled in price in the last two years. So on it goes down the list. Even those commodities where there is the least possible reason for increase have gone up tremendously. The high price for eggs is by no means confined to this country, nor to those where war pre vails. Macaroni, cocoa, mackerel and cheese are universally high, and the important point is that the increased figures are quoted for them at the place where they are grown or manu factured and the advance in freight rates and ocean carrying is only inci dental to the burdens placed upon the consumer.
