It Is tho old- triangle with a brand new twist, for the wife comes Into her new love affair with her whole heart and believing implicitly that she tug tho right to do so. Mis Frederick, who ha been seen here lately in "A Slave of Vanity." and "Madame X." can be counted upon to give a dramatically powerful and realistic interpretation of any role calling for extreme emotion.

The presence in the rlty of the star has focused the attention of tho public on her sublime greatness in mother roles as nothing else has done since the showing of the famous "Humoresque." In "The Greatest Love" the star's genius Is given even greater scopo than in the former picture. On Sunday the Castle will show Jack London's "Sea Worlf."

Men's tailors seem to try to make men look like professional dancers with a girlish figure these days. But. anyhow, the men do not look as big afl they looked a generation

ago. And the girls look not cy as bis but a lo bigger than their mothers and, as a matter of fict, they are bigger in every way. I wonder if it's the tennis and the swimming and the rowing and the golf and the gymnasium. Where's tho girl wha can't walk half a mile without getting the

Consider Some Men. I saw some pajamas for sale in a men's fdiop the other day, and they were trimmed with ribbon, and nobody even emlled when I mentioned it. Men's nails are as well manicured as women's these days and if you don't believe that men take a facial massago now and then to get rid of wrinkles ask the barber. He can tell you a lot about glis
