She knows. 4 Davies had to walk like a man—a soldier at that —for her astounding masquerade the crown prince in her new mopolitan picture, “Beverly of Graustarw,” which shows at the Monroe Theatre today for the last f time. , She cut her hair short like a man’s, removed all feminine traces from her face—and assiduously practiced a military stride until it became second na- f ture to her. a “Then, all of a sudden, I caught myself doing it on the street when I happened to be ina hurry,” she declares. “A man’s stride, once learned, is. so easy, and so much quicker than a wo- man’s, that one unconsciously falls into it. The penalty is being tak. en for a ‘mannish’ woman—and that’s a severe penalty indeed sometimes.” After the picture was completed Miss Davies had to practice walk- ing like a girl again until she had broken herself of what had beome a difficult habit. Miss Davies heads a notable » east in the new production, which ~~ was given a lavish presentation under Sidney Franklin’s direction § at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 4 Studios.

Jans motion picture production, “which shows at the Monfoe Theatre tomorrow, is founded on _ this sensational case, having been adapted from the noval by J. Wes- ley Putnam. In the leading role in Estelle Taylor, the beautiful young act- ress, Mahlon Hamilton is the lead- ing man and the newest of the sereen vamps, Dagmar Godowsky, also has a prominent part. Other leading roles are enacted by that veteran of stage and screen, Ed- mund Breese, delightful little Mary Thurman, the sterling char- acter actor, Lawford Davidson, and Walter Miller, Bradley, Bark- er and Frank Montgomery. Bur- ton King directed the offering. “Playthings of Desire” is a spe- cial attraction, especially booked for presentation at the Monroe © Theatre, and it is undoubtedly one of the finest motion pictures seen ‘ hereabouts in many months. ’ te Ye hy SB, he Ye ee * Prickly Heat itching sto; igstantly.

This new rate has become actually necessary in the face of cir- cumstances in this community as they exist today. When the subscription price of this newspaper was reduced from 20c to 15¢ about a year ago, the management confidently expected there would be a corresponding increase in the subscrip- tion list. This, however, did not materialize, for there was no appreciable increase in the number of subscribers because of the reduction of the rate. Had there been a considerable growth in the number of subscribers, the advertising rate could have been increased to offset the loss in lowering the subscription rate. The Citizen is almost twice the size and is a far better news- paper in every way than it was when the subscription price was reduced to 15¢ a week. It is worth more money, and no doubt a great many of the most thoughtful readers have expected an in- crease in the subscription price before this time. So, beginning with the issue of Next Monday, May 17, the subscription price of The Citizen delivered by carrier in the city, will be 20¢ per week instead of 15c.
