"THE WOMAN THOU GAVEST ME."

One of the greatest pictures ever, produced is that entitled "The Woman Thou Gavest Me," adapted from Hall Caine's masterpiece. It is claimed by the greatest film producers that the picturisation of this noted writer's play comes right into line with such noteworthy productions as "Where Arc My Children." The plot, as outlined by the master novelist, has been faithfully adhered to, and the many sorrows, as well as the joys in the'life of Mary McNeil are vividly portrayed" by that celebrated emotional actress? Kathleen McDonald. It is the story of a woman's heart laid bare, and her heart is the heart of every woman. No other motion picture has portrayed with such startling realism the* problems that the average woman i must solve, or has attacked so powerfully the "double standard" of morality as this one. The subjects treated in the production are approached with all the respect and delicacy which their nature merits. There is nothing irrevelent, nothing coasase, nothing immoral, nothing that will offend. It is a big, fine, deeply moving story of human hearts.

"THIS HERO STUFF."

As a man wears out his welcome, so welcome may wear out a man. That's what William Russell found in "This Hero Stuff," when he returned a warscarred warrior, to meet the adulation of the public that was heaped upon him at every turn. Sick of being fussed over, he decided to play the coward to drive away the admirers. This was quite successful until the one girl came along and taunted him with his supposed yellow streak. The girl happens to be the delectable Mary Thurman, and we should- think that any ordinary man would delight in being a hero to please Mary. Anyway Bill does that to shine in his lady's eyes. It's up to him to regain his lost reputation, and in collecting together the remnants to piece together again, he puts up some fine exhibitions of fisticuffs. It's bright comedy all through, with a special appeal to all soldiers. The supports are Topical Budget, Chester scenic, and a one-reel comedy.
