Savage' "Excuse Me", s. five-reel comedy which has been more than ordinarily successful from coast to coast. Miss O'Brien has for several years eajoyed a Urge following among pat rons of the legitimate theatre. In "A Woman's Fight" her character isation of a working girl, naturally pure hearted and big souled, forced by circumstances to become an enemy to society is excellent, nor does her art suffer when in the story she lifts herself out of the depths and as the wife of a wealthy clergyman assumes a different station in society. "A Woman's Fight" was produced 'fey Popular Plays and Players under the personal supervision of Herbert Blache. and it reflects credit upon Mr. Blache for the careful attention to detail which has been given it. Thurlow Bergen, the Broadway star, plays the clergyman and is always convincing. It is the opinion of the Pathe offices that this is one of the best of the Gold Rooster plays. sion of Zoraida and her love until Ivan suddenly returns from war. Forthwith Zoraida renews her liai sons with Ivan and the Marquis chal lenges the youth to settle the ques tion by the sword. Ivan presumably kills the Marquis and goes with Zor aida to a castle the Marqais had willed to her when he was in favor with the fickle jade. The Marquis, however, has not been killed. He covertly arranges a trap for Zoraida and Ivan, locks them in an air' tight tomb, and then dies of the wound Ivan has given him by Us sword-thrust.

Cleo Madison will be the star of "Black Orchids," the Bluebird Photo play announced to provide entertain ment at the Star Theatre on Friday night whetr a gripping story will be nnfolded. Marie returns from a con vent and her usual demure disposi tion suddenly changes. She becomes a heartless flirt, despite the fact that she Is betrothed to a dear friend of her father's and when she pays no attention to her parent's admonitions he tells her the tragic story of "Black Orchids."

To ef fectually dispose of his son as a rival, the father has the son assigned to the front line of battle in the war then progressing. Happy in the possession of what he believes to be Zoraida's love, the father introduced his dear friend Marquis De Chantal to the beautiful and insincere woman. Zoraida immediately turns her af fections to the Marquis and the old man to rid himself of his second rival arranges a poisoned cup which, by accident he drinks himself.

By Gilson Gardner In Rural Weekly The food speculator is now play ing tag with government officials. The question is, can he be caught? The food speculator is primarily re sponsible for the high cost of living. A lot has been said and written about crop shortage, and there is a good deal of truth in what has been said, but the speculator is a much more important factor than the shortage. For instance, the federal trade commission has been informed that the pack of canned goods last year was about the size of the record pack for 20 years. Yet canned goods have advanced by leaps and bounds, and what the producer sold for 85 cents Is now selling for $2.85. A carload of peas left California a few days ago. The first profit add ed to the car was $100. Since then $5,660 have been added to that car and it ia still on its way to the con sumer. There is a pound of butter in cold storage in Boston which went in at 23 cents. Its market quotation is now 43 cents, and this profit has been already absorbed by soma half dozen middlemen. These middlemen enjoy such des ignations as buyers, brokers. Job-; bers, wholesalers and transportation' men. Frequently the transportation! agency, the warehouse trade and the wholesale distributer are also spec-1 ulators, and these all add a big prof-j it between producer and consumer.
