SATURDAY NIGHT.

" LILIES OF THE FIELD."

The greatest epics of the stage and of literature have been centred about the figure of a woman. Men may be of heroic mould and adventurous of spirit, but woman exudes a spirit of romance, love, and drama that has made her the favourite character of writers of all kinds. Thus, in “Lilies of tlie Field,” which is to be shown to-morrow night, we find the theme •focussed on the modern woman and the “deal” handed her by the world. Patient, long-suffering, and meek, she is the particular victim of fate, and is buffeted about mercilessly. Loving, she is met with repulses and neglect ; forgiving, she is thrown aside. Tlie film is superbly enacted by Corinne Griffith and Conway Tearle, supported by one of the .strongest casts ever assembled, and ip cue of the greatest dramas in the history of fllmdom ODDFELLOWS BALL.
