SHOULD THERE BE DIVORCE. m m H ORPHEUM PROGR A1V "The Piper's Price" Is Bluebird At traction at Orpheum Tomorrow. For the evil we do we must pay, right here on earth, is another way of saving that we cannot escape our just deserts. This is proven through convincing dramatic construction in the Bluebird photoplay, "The Pi per's Price," to be the attraction at the Orpheum theatre on Saturday night with beautiful and talented Dorothy Phillips playing the leading role. The divorce question is exploit ed in this Bluebird, demonstrating that if divorce there must be it were far better to let well enough alone. In "The Piper's Price" the man and woman who were divorced did not do this, and the result was untold mis ery for the faithful wife who was effected by the folly of one man who was not brave enough to abide by his own decision. Four principals and two housemaid characters are shown upon the screen in "The Pi per's Price," but this small cast proves by the force and character of their artistry that numbers are not necessary to the portrayal of an in teresting story when the characters aire skillfully played and combined in effective delineations.
