AMUSEMENTS.

TO-NIGHT I WANTS BROTHERLY THEME JN PICTURES. MARI ALDEN', screen star, thinks this phase of life good photoplay material. In speaking of the love theme as the popular thread for weaving together motion .picture story plots, -Miss -Mary Alden, famous for her almost speaking interpretations of the mother type of photoplay character, has his to say:—“l never remember seeing a. photoplay where the solution or the complicated problems was worked out through the brotherly love of one mini for bis fellow men, and yet this is exactly the emotion that must be developed before ever we may find a proper solution of our domestic as well as oni national problems. Motion picture producers might use the screen as medium interestingly to present this idea, and such a step also would serve still as another very good reason for th. existence of the photoplay. “More and more are producers beginning to appreciate the power of mother love as a theme for the photoplay, because mother love is universal and eternal, while that love which culminates in marriage is often temporal.” Miss Alden will lie seen here in i“A "Woman's Woman/’ a Charles Giblvn production for Allied Producers and Distributors Corporation. In this picture, ai: intensely human domestic drama. Miss Alden again is seen in an almost speaking Interpretation of the mother love role. It is a picture replete with all those phases of the drudgery and the tragedies that confront the woman home-maker, the wife and mother, who, after twenty years of such life, finds herself facing her life’s crisis.
