AMUSEMENTS What the Press Agoats Say About "THE RED LILY" BEST | THRILLER .OF LATE FILMS | The climax of Fred Niblo's "The| Red Lily," which opens at the Capitol | Theatre today, comes when the hero | of the story, played by Ramon Novarro recognizes a woman who has brought | him_in from the street as his own lost sweetheart, Marise, whom ' he has sought for years. And what happens thereafter concludes one of the most deeply stirring tales ever told on the screen. The story is aid, for the most part, in the Parisian underworld. The boy's father, in a Brittany village, has disinherited his son on learning of the boy's love for Marise, the daughter of a humble shoemaker. The pair flee to Paris to marry, are separated by pecu.- liar circumstances, and thrust alone upon the city. Marise becomes first a waitress, then a scrubwoman, and fin- ally gives herself up in despair to the underworld. Meanwhile Jean for a time keeps his selfesteem, but eventually loses it also and turns thief. The two meet years later. The boy, who is sought for by the police, answers the furtive invitation of a woman standing in the doorway leading to her dark and dingy room. Then, in the grim and greasy gaslight of her chamber, reco- gnition dawns. The boy's last illusion is shattered. She nurses him through a period of delirium and illness, and Then, when they are just beginning to find themselves, he is taken away to prison. He serves two years. Mean- while, the girl is reclaimed by sisters of charity; and a new, different and joyous Marise awaits him outside the prison.

"We're lost and don't care who knows it," was the sum total of the doletul cries sent forth by two lite tle boys, twin brothers, found wan- dering around in the vicinity of Brock and Nelson streets this morn- ing.

London, Dec. 18.--S8ir Herbert Thomas Robson, chairman and pre- sident of the Wheat Export Come pany, Incorporated, New York, of- ficial agency to the allied govern- ments, in giving evidence yesterday before the royal commission inquir- ing into food prices, dealt with the movements of the wheat crops in Canada and the United States. middlemen in the United States and Canada were very small. It was safe to say that very large quantities of wheat were moved from the farms to the ocean ships on a basis of two cents or léss per bushel profit to That was to say, the profit was about 1 1-2 per cent. at the present prices of wheat. Dealing, with the price of bread Sir Herbert Robson said the result of the commission's Inquiries un- doubtedly would result in the disco- very that the price of bread in New York, Montreal, Toronto or Chicago the middlemen, in Great Britain.
