STRAND
“THE WOMAN DISPUTED” ON FRIDAY
“The Battle of the Sexes,” D. W. Griffith’s latest United Artists picture now at the Strand Theatre, is a realistic presentation of the theme of family discord and infidelity. The famous director selected a noted cast to bring the story to life. Jean Hersholt portrays the father who deserts his comfortable, middle-aged wife for a flapper, played by Phyllis Haver. The mother is Belle Bennett and the daughter, who brings about the reconciliation, is characterised by Sally O’Neil, who will be seen in the role of a sweet home-loving girl. Don Alvarado impersonates Jim, Miss Haver’s sweetheart.
On Friday next the Strand will present an entirely new programme headed by “The Woman Disputed.” Miss Norma Talmadge plays a most
daring role in “The Woman Disputed.” This, her second picture for United . Artists, has its locale in the Aus-trian-Russian border during the Great War. The earlier scenes reveal the star as a girl whose beauty makes her a conspicuous figure in the night-life of an Austrian city.
She is loved by two men, former friends, whom the war makes enemies as well as rivals.
The supporting cast of “The Woman Disputed” is headed by Gilbert Roland, the leading man who won his big success with Miss Talmadge in “Camille.” Other well-known actors in the cast are Arnold Kent and Gustav von SeyfEertitz. Excellent supporting items and new music bv Eve Bentley’s Symphony Orchestra will complete the programme.
