4 Burtyn Rice ch-aici-ncj for a "Mystery Sh'p" stunt. FILM STUNTS FOR SERIALS ONLY. STUNTS used tj bo more or less univerFal in the movies! Now they are confined almost exclusively to serials. Here is a formula for a siicct.'SFful serial: Each two-reel episode must contain at least two honc-st-to-oodnrss thrills, involving seeming danger to life, limb and the immaculate appearance of the hero. Each episode must end in suspense, with the heroine hanging somewhere east of life and north of death, and the temperature at the gooseflesh point. The illustration, "wTiich was drawn by the eminent artist, Burton F'ice, ep-esents one of the most thrillir.g tr,rt, in '"The Mystery Ship," which Vi -.-ow xyir.gr m ever po many theat es if. t,iiii countrv. It sho-.-s an ici.al scene ir. v. hich two Eutomobiles

were sacrificed for a thrill. The heroine is supposed ta be in the trunk, which jumps out of the car and floats for a moment on the surface. i'he film fades out as the box slowly, slowly i n k s. Mr. Iiao has added a new touch to i-lu.-f ration anel borrowed a note from the films by incorporating a close-up in his drawing.

A LOST OPPORTUNITY. The other r.-rht I saw in a Proctor house a Tria:ig;o film called -I-or Valour." It vk r.ct a new picture, but it was a pictui- -af rncr.i thrm average interest on accotm; of its patriotic side, and the way it i;"i-"d that valor is not eorainoei to the .jtrcing line. But the point. I wa.u to bring out is this. The lr.aru'.g' r of that theatre and the press-aent of the Triangle missed a rare chance. They failed to connect "Winifred Allen, the star of "For Valour," and any other films in which she has appeared with the air bride of Lawrence S perry. The story was all over the papers for a week, and not one of them mentioned the fact that she was a movie queen.

ihc Countess of Westmoreland.

The wedding which took place a short time ago between Lord Westmoreland, one of England's least affluent lorde, and Miss Catherine Geale, the eldest daughter of the Kev. John S. Geale, was a surprise and disappointment to the friend3 of both vhe bride and groom. The disappointment arises freni the fact that neither Lord Westmoreland nor the countess has much money and they married merely for love

Vithm one year from now, the public is going to pay at least one-third more for pianos than they are paying today. There is going to be a shortage of pianos. The government has curtailed the output, one-third of the normal supply. Materials which enter into the construction

mlt th?douW: the price cf two years ago. Of course these conditions will have little or no effert on the sliding price piano dealers who have always marked the prices of their pianos from $100 to SlaO more than they are worth in order to offer make-believe discounts. The hih cost of pno manufacturing will not hamper the "commission paying" system of the "WAS NOW" piano dealers because they always have plenty of prices on the same piano to meet the buying conditions of the customer. At any rate, the customer never knows the real price of the piano he buys under such sliding scale methods. DM Tills Cusfosner lieow JusS What lie Paid For His Piano? A few days ago one of Hammond's worthy citizens desired to purchase a plaver-piano. He wanted a good instrument. He was willing to pay for a good instrument. This man walked ino the store of a sliding price piano dealer and selected a player-piano and was assured that it was a o5o0 player. He purchased the piano, paid $350 in cash and traded in his old piano at $200 Tbi same old piano was sold a few days later for $100. Was it a $450 or a $500 player that this custome-obtained?

At this store there is no sharp practice employed in piano selling. Our pianos ore sold at the lowest prices to everybody. We guarantee the lowest prices in the United States. You have never had an opportunity in your life to purchase one of these fine standard rn.-3.kes at these prices, and at the present rate of advance in the cost of manufacture you will pay from $50 to $75 more if you do not avail yourself now.
