''The Wowan Beneath" Features
Ethel Clayton.

The Isis theatre will shoy "The
Woman Beneath the latest World
Picture Brady Made, today. Miss
Ethel Clayton is the star of this pro-
duction and she is seen in one of the
most thoroughly delightful roles of
her entire career. AS the society
wife of Western mine owner who
has married for the money her hus-
band has, she has role which de-
velops into one of the most appeal
ingly attractive characters ever seen
on the seceen. The part fits Miss
Clayton to perfection. She invests the
character with the utmost winsome-
ness and charm. Certainly no more
delightful characterization has been
seen in motion pictures for a long
time.
