Will Be The Masterpiece Offered at
Majestic Next Wednesday.
That colossal film masterpiece, "Van

Beckey Sharp, comes to the Majestic
theatre next Wednesday. This is an
Rdtson production and easily the great
est ever executed by that well known
maker of good pictures. Also, it Is
consplcious as the first Edison otterl
ing on the newly organised Kleine-Edi
son Feature pervlce program.
Needless to say a production of suf
ficient size to warrant the engagement
of Bits. Flske is ne ordinary fifih ven
ture. More than four hundred people
were employed in many of the big
scenes,, notably the one which por
trays Lady Richardson's ball in Brus
sels. This scene la in itself elaborate
enough to stamp "Vanity Fair* an ex
traordinary production. Tbe, antique
curio shop? of Manhattan were ran
sacked for .hangings and furniture of
the period' and the entire mimmoth

These unusual conditions now oxlst

the Kuropenn war, which has resulted
i unprecedented advances In many

''hose conditions have become more
uMiornl with tho continuance of the
.nr. imtll at this period the market ,

A number of drugs have Increased i

advanced from $*J to $10 i>cr pound.

Irogen peroxide has been practically

So It Is with practically all the

has been general, and has made the
drug market an uncertainty.
Druggists give a reason for the ad*

inability: to secure the castor hearts
which are grown In Indjft, ...
So long as the war Continues, there
will be further Increases In the prices
