ion. Just as soon as | began
to read 1t l know that the
name of some poor, abused,
Woodworking husband would
be appended. / think he
could surely be in better bust
ness than running down the
women of our coutry. 1t may
be that all women do not
properly attend to their home
duties, but | would like to
ask him this: Do all the men
properly provide for their
families or dependents? IL
not, what right has he to
judge all women by just a
few. Surely he has not been
in the homes of all the wom-
en- In the u. s. to see how
they do their work.

shows, so why shouldn't the
women also go as long as they
can afford II and the shows

Its very funny said Molly to me the other day, but as I approach middle age (she is all of the advanced age of twenty y-fve) 1 can't seem to hate people in the thoroughgoing way I used to. I really used to enjoy hat ing people but I don't get the same fun out of it nowadays
 I fancy Molly's experience is typi- cal.
 Very young people, and people who rot or grow sour instead of mellow ine. with the years, are the only sue cesSful haterS.
 You must see life narrowly to have unqualified hates.
 As you begin to see life more broadly you see it more indulgently. There is more of grey and less of black and white in the picture. So Many Things Interfere With Your

 So many things intervene to pre- vent your getting and keeping good thorough hate on anyone.

From beginning to end, '"The Wom- an God Forgot is one great massive spectacle. Scenery, costumes action battles that vie with any yet filmed ; and all throughout there is a great story, one that sustains interest to the end. With Geraldine Farrar, Hobart BosWorth, Wallace Reid, Ray mond Hatton, and Theodore Kosloff, the famous Russian dancer in the cast, and Cecile DeMille directing, there can be nothing but excellence in the results achieved
 Delving back into the early pages of the world history when human be- ings were hardly deserving of being called "human," 'The Woman God Forgot" unfolds a story that is unique, yet forceful, and at all times thrilling. MT. DeMille went into de- tail to perfect the great Glm; he stopped at nothing to give the pie ture a lasting quality and the result is testimonial to the vastness of the

 Or you have to admit to yourself that there are conditions that have made him what he is. Or you are robbed of your chance to indulge in unmitigated hatred by finding him doing something really decent.
 Once Had Beautiful Hate. I once had a very we'll grounded hate. 1 was buying q horse and buggy and asked a neighbor whose business pertalned to horses, to advise me- I pald him well to spend an afternoon looklng at a horse with me. He there upon persuaded me into buying a buggy for which I paid seventy-five dollars and which, was of such pe- cullar construction that I had to pay out thirteen dollars during ,my eight months ownership for repairs I also paid six dollars for storage and finally sold it for ten.
 Do you wonder that I felt mighty bitter toward that man. Every time l saw him I indulged in morning hate. When he lost a sinecure job he had had for years, I was really glad.

 And then lost my hate for found out that he was deeply attached to my dog, and that Ca greater recom- mendation) my dog loved him. So l couldn't unqualifiedly hate him any more.
 Hate is form of self indulgence. There is no question but that one can get certain pleasure out of hating.
 There is an excitement to it. It is really sort of mental stimulant
 But no real stimulant could be any worse for anyone. No person who wants to be efficient can afford to get into the habit of taking it. And no self-respecting person will want to-

Todays the big day, For today is
 the day that brings to FoX's theater
 that wondrous spectacular production,
 'The Daughter of the Gods and
 that seems to be the only fact worth
 knowing just about now. For the
 first time since the initial showing
 of this picture it will be seen at popu-
 lar prices, and that means something
 in the life of a production that ran
 for a year on Broadway, nine months
 in London, eight months in Paris and
 eight in Berlin, at two dollar admls- sions There has been so much said, written and read about this supreme achievement of William Fox since the announcement some weeks ago that it WAS to come to New Britain, that it needs no introduction or long winded explanation of its merits. That it stands alone as the biggest and most wonderful photoplay yet produced is lnanim mously conceded by all critics who have seen it. That there never has been anything like it. is equally admitted, as is the fact that there can never be another to rival it. An nette Kellerman. the featured star of the production, is the Twentieth Gen. tury Venus, for she represents the truly perfect type of womanhood-- the most symmetrical and perfectly proportioned woman that exists today. As for the picture itself there is but one thing to be said: it is as perfect a picture as Miss Kellermann is woman. And there is every reason that 1t should be, for not a penny was spared in making it. The total cost of the production was well over a million dollars. There are twenty one thousand actors and actresses in it. Over two hundred and fifty thou

STELLAR OFFERING
 ON KEENEYS SCREEN

Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Rayne, the sovereigns of the screen, who are idolized by the public, are CO., starred in Metros super-featurc, Their Compact" directed by Edwin Carewe and produced under the su- pervision of Maxwell Karger, at Kecneys theater.
 These favorite stars have reached their equal emincnce by different roads. MT. Bushman achieved sue cess in dramatic productions before coming to the screen, whereas Miss Bayne has acted only in motion pie lures, never having stepped foot upon the stage In fact, she was a school girl until she appeared in her first picture.
 MT. Bushman was born in Norfolk Va. He received his education in Baltimore graduating from Ammon- dale college. Before going on the stage he was a sculptors model and he posed for some of Americas hero ic statues. Among his stage produc- tions were ''The Red Mill" and At Yale.'' His first motion picture work was done for the ESsanay company, and it was there that he became as- sociated with Miss Bayne, his present co-star Miss Bayne was born in Min neapolis, Minn., and received her schooling in Chicago and in Philadel- phia. The story of her life is prac- tically the record of her pictures, for she was little more than a child when she did her first screen work. With MT. Bushman, she has appeared in Essanay productions, later in Metro wonderplays and specials, the two forming an ideal starring combination.
 On Wednesday and Thursday, the third episode of the greatest serial ever produced, "The Mystery Ship, featuring the greatest trio of stars Ben Wilson, NeVa Gerber and Kings ley Benedict-Wiu be shown to the local movie fans, who have become acquainted with this trio in other se- rials that never failed to give satis- faction to those who like thrills and plenty of action.

How to WIN a
W0man's Heart
BY MADGE ARTHUR.

There are plenty of happy mar
riages which have begun with mo-
and ended with yes 1t frequently
happens that the woman who refuses
the first time consents willingly upon
the second or third. Nor is the rea-
son for this far to seek.
The woman who answers with a
negative often does so believing that
il her sutton really means what he
says, he will not accept dismissal
without an effort to reverse her de-
cision.
The astute lover. when declined as
a husband, begs humbly for friend
ship, and proceeds to make himself
necessary to his lady-love's comfort
and happiness. He studies her tastes,
humors her whims, is always on hand
when needed, yet never in the way,
In short, he plays the part OF de-
voted slave so adroitly that some day
when he bctakes himself to distant
land his lady-love wakes up to the
knowledge that he has become indis-
pensable to her, a part of her life
which, Withdrawn, leaves sense Of
lack--a void.
Most fortresses will capitulate il
the siege be long enough and well
conducted, and the rule holds good
in love as well as in war.

found the first man." nor even
mans first animal ancestor in a d.
rect line of descent. 1t only pro-
fesses to have found irrefragable evil
dence that men and women were liv-
ing upon this earth at least hundred
thousand years ago, and that, while
distinctly human in bodily form and
structure and in mental qualities, the
earliest known representatives OF Our
race we're much inferior i'll bo1h these
respects to their descendants of his
toric times,
Moreover. science has demon
strated that there are structural re-
semblances between men and apes
which show that both arc descended
from common ancestor. One very
telling fact is that serum reactions
prove that there exists close blood
relationship between men and the
three great species Of anthropoid
apes--the gorilla, the chimpanzee
and the eurang -outang.
It Is not necessary to retell here
the story of prehistoric mantle
rivcr-irift man. the cave man, the
man of the Old Stone Age, and the
man OF the Later Stone Age-for
that would make an article, and
many articles, in itself. But we may
ask ourselves such questions as these:
II God made man as totally in
dependent creation, and at single
stroke, how does it happen that mans
entire bodily structure is Simply an
adaptation Of general plan, on which
vast number OF species of lower ami
mails we're gradually developed before
man appeared ...-
II God made man in His own image.
how does it hapl en- that man looks so
much, and in many ~ behaves so
much, like an ape or monkey?
Again, why should the scientist
(abominable name for good mani be
accused Of impiety or atheism because
he prefers to believe that God, in
stead of making man by sort Of
legerdemain out OF handful of dust,
brought him into existence through
the operation Of beautiful and mar
vellous law OF evolution, or develop
ment, law which He himself had es-
tablished, as an architect first lays
down a plan for his intended edifce?
Is not this nobler conception than
that which assumes God to be doer
OF miracles" breaker of his own
rulcsi This conception does not
force God out OF nature, and neither
does it deny that He is superior to
nature or to NATURES laws.
1t does not, as many appear to think
it does, shut out any interference by
God with the course of events, for
science pretcnds to no knowledge Of
the way in which the material and the
spiritual arc related. IT only feels
confident that whatever relation OF
that kind may exist rs not capricious,
but in accordance with some as yet
undiscovered law. Prayer may be
answered and yet no law be violated.
