WM.
S. HART IN BIG
PLAY OF PATRIOTISM
Author Monte M. Katterjohn Gives
Triangle-Ince Star a Kole Depicting
Devotion to Native Land.
What is expected to prove one of
the most unusual dramas ever offered
on the Triangle program will be seen
at tho Arcndo theater today and to
morrow, when Thomas H. Ince pre
sents William S. Hart in "The Pa
triot," a thrilling story of the Mexi
can border from tho pen of Monte M.
Katterjohn. This is the play that al
ready is well known as having been
staged almost in its entirety on the
strife-ridden international boundary
line. It is unique, in thnt it has no
women in its cast.
"The Patriot" is the pulsating story
of a man whose burning devotion to
tho Stars and Stripes turns to smould
ering coals of halo and then is re
stored by tho advent of a golden-haired
Ivoy who resurrects loving memor
ies. It is abundant with tho atmos
phere of rebellious Mexico, depicting
border raids with all the realistic hor
ror that has been so graphically re
lated recently by refugees from the
war zone.
Hart has the titlo role, thnt of Bob
Wiley, n homestcadpr and miner,
whose suspicion thnt his government
has defrauded him makes of him a
traitor. He has invested it, advance
reports say, with all the forccfulness
that hns characterized his many other
notable portrayals and will undoubted
ly win new laurels by his perform
ance. Next to Hart in importance in the
east are George Stone and Francis
Carpenter, well known child actors,
who have scored heavily in several
Triangle plays. George hns the rolo
of "Little Bobs," son of Wiley, while
Francis plays the-.part of Billy Allen,
who prevents Hart from going
through with his plot to betray his
country.
Others in the cast are Joe Goodbby,
tho Indian actor; Roy Laidlaw, Mil
ton Rose, P. V. Tabler, Charles K.
French.

utter strangers. Right here is where
the element of charity steps in to form
the central vein of interest in the
Bluebird photoplay, "The Honor of
Mary Blake," to be exhibited at the
beautiful than ever. It is a character
too that holds out every opportunity
to the star for making it one of the
most popular parts she has ever crea
ted. In other words, it is an ideal
Mary Pickford part and that is just
what all of the many Mary Pickford
admirers most want.

High Cost of Living
Now Visiting Japan
Tokio, Jan. 5. (United Press by
Mail.) That modern terror, the High
Cost of Living, has today invaded Ja
pan, n country long famed for feeding
and clothing its people on a mere pit
tance. It is estimated in economic cir
cles here thnt prices of all kinds of
goods have increased on an average
of 30 per cent.
Staple commodities are included in
the general boosting of prices. Sugar
has increased from 20 to 30 per cent;
salmon, 50 to 100 per cent; wine, 20
per cent; beans, 30 to 40 per cent;
grain and canned goods, 10 to 20 per
cent; and fuel 20 per cent. The cost
of wearing apparel has also gone up.
Also rice.
The war is made to indirectly
shoulder the blame for Japan's unus
ual economic situation.
"But conditions differ according to
the commercial status of each nation,"
says the Hochi Shimbun in comment
ing on tho II. C. of L.'s conquest of
Nippon. "Among the causes that un
derlie the rise in Japan's market
prices, are the increased cost of war
materials, the prosperity of foreign
trado and the abundance of money,
The redundancy of gold and the ex
pansion of convertible notes must also
lie said to have a significant influ
ence.
