ENTERTAINMENTS.

STRAND PICTURES. TO-NIGHT (TUESDAY). “SHOULD A WOMAN TELL.” It is a tense, human and infinitely appealing story of a woman confronted with one of life’s greatest dilemmas. Meta Maxon, daughter of hardy, somewhat grasping, parents, never (until: circumstances led her out into the world of wealth) knowing the ways of men, came to a point in her life when she must herself make a great decision. She found in the young idealistic artist living in the little New England town in order to sketch the rugged grandeur of the coast and sea, the one real romance of her .life. Yet there was something which Meta felt Albert should know. She was well aware that he himself —for he had candidly confessed it—had not led a life entirely blameless. But she was no less aware that men regard a woman’s mistake as unpardonable, and their own as joyous escapades. To tel him would mean to lose him. To keep her secret would mean a life of uneasy happiness unutterably misearable. How this woman chose to act is told with all the skill arid finish characteristic of Screen Classics, Inc., productions, enacted by an all-star cast headed by Alice Lake, Jack Mulhall and Frank Curirer. THURSDAY NEXT. “ IN ONLD KENTUCKY.” “A STORY OF THE TURF.” “ In Old Kentucky ” is undoubtedly the most sensational and spectacular drama of 1920, and is the biggest feature in which Anita Stewart has ever appeared. It is crammed with incident and thrill, containing all the attributes of a great serial in seven smashing reels of good melodrama. Under the direction of Marshal: Ueilan, Anita Stewart does her best work and fairly revels in the role of little Madge, the hard-riding w'aif of the hills. Thrill follows thrill in rapid succession and these are punctuated by scenes of heart interest and pathos and sentiment. A great horse race, a wonderful fox hunt, a mountain feud, a battle between moonshiners and revenue men, a daring leap across a chasm by the heroise on horseback. These are only a few of the thrilling incidents that are featured. Fast action characterises the whole of the seven big reels.
