A story that is replete with thrills and action from start to finish provides the theme for Universal’s gripping melodrama “The Price of Fear,” starring Bill Cody and Duane Thompson, and which will be screened at the Municipal Theatre. It introduces for the first time in Universal productions a star whose work in the picture is reminiscent of the early productions of Douglas Fairbanks, and later of Richard Talmadge. Bill Cody, the star of the picture, although he possesses a remarkable physique and muscular development thjat enables him to do the falls and make the outstanding leaps that he does in this picture, literary carries his lif.e in his hands in every reel of the attraction. Cody is ably supported by Duane Thompson, while others in the cast include Monte Montague, Tom London, Jack Raymond and Grace Cunard.
