E TO "Paying the Piper" is at the Strand the rest of this week and it probahly will be localized in the minds of many who see it, for it deals with a social problem that is not confined to any city or state. Here is the pith of the story: A rich society girl is the daughter of two victims of the divorce court. The decree provides that she spend half of each year with each of her parents. Her father is a would-be masher and rake and her mother Is a dignified club woman who prides herself on the number of cigarettes she can smoke and the .way she can handle her liquor. Into this double environment this girl is thrust each day of her year. Is It any wonder that she makes a marriage of convenience with a dis solute member of the social set? The man she marries has been making a Liilaything of a member of a Follies WORK MPU IIIU.I RESUMED mi moth rflillib in COMES STRAND y company and his marriage causes the him. Then come the complications this loveless marriage engenders. From them comes a strong heart story that ends well, but not until the puppets of this human drama are shuttled through oceans of grief. "Paying the Piper" introduces for its big punch the most wonderful dancer since Mrs. Vernon Castle, Dorothy Dixon, who set all New York agog last year with her . sensational dancing. "Paying the. Piper" is a society -j picture with a world of dress display and should find a ready response at the Strand. It is augmented by a good Pathe news reel and a comedy, "Vamps and Scamps.'' o The summer school system of edu cation at Columbia university, N. Tf.. was established 22 years ago.
