EVERYBODYS’ PICTURES

“ MEMORY LANE ’’—TO-NIGHT,

Tlk> ever-botliersomc' question as to whether the prospective bride or groom •should furnish the new home, is brought up by Eleanor Itoardman in John Af. Stahl’s production of “Memory Lane,” the attraction at the Princess Theatre to-night. In the story, the husband, played by Conrad Nagel, takes his bride to a home already selected and furnished by him, regardless of his wife’s tastes or wishes. -Miss Boardman, the bride, is highly indignant over such a policy and expresses herself in no uncertain terms “In this day and age, if a woman does not go out into the world to help support herself and husband, the man in the case ought to he thankful enough to allow his wife to express herself in some way if only in the household furniture. The average man knows little about the. outfitting of a house, and the things that add the ‘homey’ feeling, and after all it is the wife who spends most of her time in the home, not the husband. If the man allows the woman run her own household as she pleases, she should not interfere with her husband’s business, or try to ‘ help ’ him.” William Haines is the third member of the trio of featured players in “Memory Lane,” which Louis If. Mayer is releasing through First National.

A good comedy and gazette complete the display to-night. On Wednesday William Fox presents the picture version of the great stagesuccess “ The Dancers,” with George O’Brien, Alma Reubens and Madge Bellamy.
