It shows at the Strand Theatre Sunday, Mondey and Tuesday. It's a true tale of Indiana of 60 yearss ago, and because it reflects Mrs. Stratton-Porter'- s experiences from her own girlhood, it pulses with the realism of life Itself. It is a saga of the soil, its characters are typical Americans, save for the one family whose daughter, known as the "Princess," furnishes the principal romance. That family came from overseas, bringing drama with them, and plunging into a greater and grander drama in the farming country. Practically everybody is familiar with the kind of characters and situations with which "$10 Raise" deals. With comedy in dialogue, action and character portrayals serving as the principal entertainment ingredient, the picture handles ordinary human beings in a simple and understandable human way. It shows at the Strand, Wednesday and Thursday. 'Times Square Lady" which features next week-enFriday and Saturday, is a typical drama romance with singing and comedy Through and LOW COST of When 7 PETER Men v.
