McLEAN’S PICTURES.

— DOUBLE STAR PROGRAMME TO-NIGHT. This Tuesday evening McLean's picture will screen the big special “Love of Women," starling Helen Chadwick and Montagu Love. Jt is a charming, ly human story beautifully screened and convincingly enacted, and deals with the marital difficulties of Cynthia and Ernest Herrick. Although very much in love with each other, the young couple, through the intercourse of outsiders, land in the divorce court. In spile of the incriminating evidence against Ernest the judge feels that the pair really care for each other, and that peril tips time may bring about a reconciliation, so instead of granting an absolute decree of divorce, be gives an interlocutory one. The day before the .signing of the filial papers the Herrick’s little boy is severely injured. At the suggest inn of the doctor Cynthia sends for the hoy's lather and the long watch I liroitgliotil the night by te bedside of their child makes the parents realise that death alone should part them. The next morning they a ilium nee to the judge that they don’t w ant a divorce and sally I'orl It on a second honeymoon. Helene Chadwick portrays Cynthia Herrick with a restrain and delicacy which add much to the reality of the play. Lawlm'd Davidson, who plays opposite her, also gives a. finished and sympathetic portrayal of the husband who lias heen led astray. Montagu Love and .Maurice Costello live up to their reputations as capable actors and no one could he more seductively vampish than Alary Thurman. Credit for the work should lie given also to .Malic Shot well and little Frankie Evans.
