'THE PRICE OF A GOOD TIME'

A rich and discontented girl and a poor, unhapry waif are the chief characters in ' The Price of a Good Time,' which re-oeive-d its initial presentation at the King's Theatre tbJf afternoon. This picture more than fulfils every possible requirement of the screen drama to-day. It is sympathetically conceived and is probably the most artistically staged pnotodrama shown for a long time. There are roally startling scenes of the life of pleasure toilowed by the very wealthy. The story is one of the bk-gcst.ever tol<?. bi-eause it is so absolutely human. Ifc will appeal especially to all women patrons, as womon. want plays about a woman, preferably a woman they know. It carries a moral—a lesson of life that all may well learn. It is clean, though strong, and stirs the sympathy as one e&es the heart of a living being open to all. Mildred Harris is seen as the poor girl, who is later taken by a young man to seo and tasta the pleasures of high society. In support of this picture is a Mack Sennefct tveystane comedy, * The Winning Punch/ and a Co-operative Weekly Revl«w.
