Of course even woman sometime or other longs for a home of her own, and babies, too. But, careers have a disturbing tendency to change all that nowadays. We are not living in the Mid-Victorian age, where women were placed on pedestals, but a red-blooded age where the twentieth century female can compete successfully with man in business and politics.” Supporting Miss.'Bellamy in this delightful comedy-drama are James Hall, Joseph Cawthorn and Maude Fulton. Arthur Rosson directed the production, for Fox Films. “ Si’wLegs” is the ,attraction at the Theatre to-night.
