WELL KNOWN ACTORS
IN FEATURE TONIGHT
Valli, Kerry, Fazenda, Fawcett, Les
ter and Many Others
“The Price of Pleasure,” written es
pecially for screen production by El
izabeth Holding and Marion Orth, who
have written some outstanding screen
successes, is Virginia Valli and Nor
man Kerry’s next vehicle. It has its
first showing at the Liberty Theater
tonight.
The supporting cast contains some
of the best known names in screen
land, among them being Louise Fa
zenda, Kate Lester, George Fawcett,
T. Roy Barnes, James O. Barrows and
Marie Astaire. It was directed by
Edward Solman.
Miss Valli has the part of a shop
girl whose greatest desire is for “Just
one good time for a full week.” Sev
eral scenes of the picture are devoted
to making realistic the life led by
those thousands of young women, who
without family ties, struggle to main
tain themselves in decency as shop
girls in big department stores in big
•cities, finding their sole social pleas
ures in the restricted activities of a
tenement boarding house.
Some of the scenes of “The Price
of Pleasure” were taken in a real de
partment store on a day when there
was a big bargain sale, with Miss Val
li and others of the cast acting as
saleswomen and waiting on real cus
tomers.
Into the life of this wishful young
woman came romance in the form of
a man clad as a mechanic but who
turned out to be a millionaire.

ing capitalist, is expected to be among

ACCOUNT OF WILKINS PARTY
TRIP BE JEALOUSLY GUARDED
Cal Brosiusf sledmaker and contrac
tor for the party from this city receiv
ed a telegram from'the New York of
fice of the party yesterday asking him
to prevent photographs being made
of the equipment to be used by the
party. The secrets of the party are
evidently being carefully guarded by
the members of the part who are at
tempting to sell the rights of publica
tion to Alaskan papers. The trouble
is the price is too high for the average
Alaskan paper to handle as they ask
$240 from the Gateway for the privi
lege of publishing news which will be
of little interest to the average North
erner, wrho have most of them made
the same trip.
