"for there is an opportunity for women's intuition to guide her, and intuition being an animal Instinct, is nearly always correct. The idea of calling sex into question to the exclusion of women, is a fallacy, for after all, everything depends on the individual, whether woman or man. It is the actual type of man or woman that will make the decision, and not
to town. One of the most beautiful spots in Hollywood Is Miss Mason's little bungalow home. Here, with her mother and her sister Viola Dane, Miss Mason spends many a quiet and restful hour. "The Rescuing Angel" is a picture based on a story which is particularly suited to Miss Mason's talents and her work is exceptional throughout. Walter Edwards directed and James C. Vart Trees did the camera work. The scenario was written by Edith Kennedy from the play of the same name by Clare Kummer. The supporting cast include Forrest Stanley, Arthur Carew, John Steppling, Carol Edwards,

cated her three children; and now this woman faces the problem, perplexing morally and legally, of possessing two husbands. An instance similar to this is given in the new Willfam Fox play, "Rose of the West," in which Madaline Traverse is called on to portray the emotions of a wife whose brutal husband has left her, and been reported dead and she is about to marry onother man when the husband returns. Just how a woman would act under such circumstances, what emotions would take possession of her, is hard to say; but it is certain that Miss Traverse gives her interpretation of what a woman of honor, as the wife in "Rose of the West" is, would do. "Rose of the West" is now playing ata the Murray theatre.
cast which includes William Conklin, Spotiswoode Aitken and J. P. Lockney. Wallace Reid's new Paramount picture, "The Love Burglar," which comes to the Murrette theatre for two days beginning next Friday and Saturday is an adaption of the recent play by the celebrated author and playwright, Jack Lait, entitled, "One
of Us." The play had Its premiere at the Morosco theatre in Los Angeles and after a successful run in which Eertha Mann played the starring role, it was taken east. After a careful study of the values of the different roles, the producers decided that the hero role was by far a stronger one than the leading
feminine role, and in the picture version, the leading male part is the stellar role. Wallace Reid is said to have a highly effective role In this production, and one of the best of his screen career. MURRETTE A delicate and delightful love story is contained In William Gillette's drama, "Secret Service," scenarized by Beulah Marie Dix, directed by Hugh Ford and released as a Paramount-Art-craft special picture. It will be seen at the Murrette theatre 'Monday and Tuesday and will repay a visit to the show house, because It remains one of the most striking dramas ever written and in screen form should duplicate the success of its stage career. Major Robert Warwick is cast for the role made famous by the author. The love element is characterized by that charming chivalry and beauty of the old South. There never has been a period in the history of America when men were
more chivalrous or women more delicately charming; nor a place, perhaps, where these qualities were more In evidence than in the states below the Mason-Dixon line. Wanda Hawley is Edith Varney, with whom Lewis Dumont, as Captain Thorn, falls in love. The entire cast is wonderfully well selected. For suspense, the story of this play cannot be excelled. William Gillette is a recognize master of stage technique, and the mechanics of the stage, but he has also a real literary skill.

WASHINGTON The sum of $50,000 was raid Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson for his enactment of the role of The Stranger in his greatest success, the "Passing of the Third Floor Back." which Herbert Brennon has transferred to the screen. This remarkable production will be shown at the Washington theatre on Sunday only. It is an exact transcript of the story which made Sir Johnston's name a household word throughout the Englishspeaking world during the eight consecutive seasons that he played in it. In order to fulfill his contract with Herbert Brennon, Sir Johnston made a special trip across the submarineinfested Atlantic, and is said to have contributed a large share of the money that he received for his work before the camera to the allied Red Cross, In which he Is deeply interested. Miss Helen McCormick, assistant District Attorney of Kings county, New York, has helped to draw up a bill asking for a law to allow women to serve on juries in New York State.
