Theatrical people each pay $1,000.14 for a dinner—forty-four cents for the food, one thousand ; dollars for the Ac$p«' Fund. Forty-four cents for one dinner seems cheap to a prosperous actor. seems a good deal to the mother of five children whose husband earns $4 a day. forty-four cents a meal, that would need each day $9.24 alone, leaving fa deficit of .24 p. day, to say nothing of rent clothing. Those that call $5 a day high wages shodld try liv ing and keeping a family on that sum. - • Knglnecr? suggest filling in nine square miles of Upper New York Bay, half to belong to New Jersey, hedf to New York.

There isn’t a dull moment in the entire production. It bubbles pep and action; it generates thrills and throbs, and it gushes, grins and gags in an unceasing stream. In short, “For Heaven’s Sake!” is good, solid, sub stantial fun, served up hot from the LIbydian griddle. The plot of the picture has to do with Harold’s metamorphosis from a care-free and indolent millionaire clubman, bored with his life of idle ease and luxury, to a he-man Salva tionist, a crusader, who becomes the guiding spirit in a slums mission. His strong arm methods in re forming the toughs and gangsters of the underworld are enough to make Billy Sunday turn green with envy and every film fan blue with laughter. One mirth-provoking scene is but a stepping stone to another even more uproariously funny, ard it all 'leads up to a hysterical climax in the shape of a mad, dizzy, riotous bus ride that is the last word in excitement and thrill. Sandwiched in between the rollick ing foolery and spirited action is a wistful romance that gives the be spectacled comedian a chance to make shy love to the charming and demure Jobyra Ralston. The photoplay has been very shrewdly directed by Sam Talor, and credit for the story goes to John Grey, Ted Wilde and Clyde Buckman. Professional Notice.
