various industries and some times
severely hampered their activity.
New York has felt it in many ways,
and one of these has developed in the
curtailing of telephone directories. It
appears that only about two-thirds of
the regular October edition of the
book, that has become such an cssen
j tial of business life, has been placed
: in the hands of subscribers at the end
of last month. Lack of white paper
on which to print the edition is what
j held it back. The books are leaving
I the press as soon as paper to pri it
j them on can be found. Every possi-
ble economy of space, some of it very
j ingenuously effected, has been made
i to save space in the latest directory.
I Just now a new attack on the pa-
per problem is being started in New
I York. It is to teach methods and
I habits of econqmy in the use of wrap
ping paper to merchants. Those who
have made a study of the question
declare that Americans are particu
larly wasteful in this particular as
compared to Europeans. It is a fault

correctly believe that there is an at
tractiveness about the well-wTapped
package that works to their benefit.
Liberality in this way may be wise,
except when it becomes extravagance
and some of the big business associa
tions of New York declare that a dis
tinct reform should be promoted
along these lines. Our condition in
regard to paper is somewhat similar
to that of certain European countries
in regard to food. The shortage of
supply cannot be cured for the time
at least, and a rigid surveyance of
appetite must be instituted. Any
thing like a luxurious use of paper
is to bo frowned upon. One organiza
tion that has as its members many of
the great retail dry goods establish
ments lias already taken up the plan
of a campaign for wrapping paper

"LESS THAN THE DUST"
.Mary Pickford As Hindu Girl in First
Artcraft Production.
(Reviewed by Thomas C. Kennedy
in Motography.)
Needless to say, Mary Pickford is
the outstanding feature of "Less
Than The Dust," the first release of
the Artcraft Pictures Corporation,
that will be shown at the Arcade to
day and tomorrow.
The picture is in seven reels, tach
reel beinfr a generous one. The story
is of an English girl who has become
thoroughly Hindu through environ
ment. '
The picture opens in India. Kadha s
father is a member of a group of
Hindus who are planning to revolt
agaitist the English rule. Radha de
sires to learn the English tongue and
she studies faithfully. The girl and
(1;iptain Townsend, commanding at
the post at Sapatu, become fast
friends. On the night of the revolt
Radha, though forced to aid the reb
els, saves the enptain's life.
Townsend returns to England on
receiving word that his uncle is seri
ously ill. The uncle makes the cat
tain his heir, explaining that his own
son has disgraced the family name.
The swordmaker is sentenced with
other leaders of the revolt to . five
years' imprisonment. Rr.mlan feels
it his duty to tell Radha the truth
about her birth. Radha's father, a
Captain Brooke, was a victim of a
drug and her mother entrusted the
child to the care of the swordmake:-.
Radha is sent to England by the
Babu and makes her claim to the es
tate of Edward Brooke, the uncle of
Captain Townsend. According to the
will left by Brooke, Townsend would
be justified in the eyes of the law if
he refused to grant Radha her share
in the estate. The girl goes to a
"Finishing" school and when a real
English lady, she marries the cap
tain. The story has been given an elab
orate production. It is, come to
think of it, quite novel to see Mary
Pickford in a production on so large
a scale. Many spectacular scenes
are introduced, not the least impress
ive of these being long, sweeping
views of the streets of Sapatu at the
time set for the revolt. John Emer
son paid great attention to the spec
tacular, and rightly so, because these
opportunities were bound to prove
more fruitful of pleasing effect when
they reached the screen than any of a
dramatic nature the story presented.
In the heroic role, David Powell
acquits himself most commendably.
Ho is reserved and makes Captain
Townsend a convincing chr.rncte
Mary Aldcn, Mario Mnjcroni, C'esave
Gravina and Francis Joyner are ef
fective. Radha is a good rolo for Mary
Pickford to appear in" Radha's
strictly Hindu propensity for driving
a sharp bargain enables the star to
secure many laughs from the audi
ence. Perhaps the most effective
comedy sit nat ion is that in which
Radha. with a few kicks, mixes up
the shoes of the natives who are bath
ing in the sacred pool : nd who give
her the chase for entering the pool
wearing her shoes.
Taken all-in-all, tins film is up to i
and above the usual Pickford films
and can be counted upon to appeal o
all and delight the Pickford fans.
