Rex THEATRE.

Mans P~rerogative" a mutual Tea
.ture with Robert Edison and a brit
liant company OF supporting players
will be the attraction today and o
morrow. II deals with the double
standard Of morals and with telling
force. Elizabeth. the beautiful wife
Of Oliver. a distinguished lawyer.
FIRMLY believes that there should be
n moral code alike for man ana
woman. Consequently when her nus.
band carries on a Irritation with a
pretty young woman. she decides TO
awaken him 20 a sense of his folly
by pretending 10 accept the attentions
OF another young man. whose rcpu-
tation is none the best. The result
is that Oliver loses faith in his wife
and they are divorced. The dying
confession Of the man, clears her sus.
picion. and they are remarked. but
society continues TO believe her
guilty. This Is the problem the play
presents: Is the double standard OF
morals ever justified. Who Pays or
