At the Lyric theatre this week, 'For fhe Man She Loved" me1odrama from the pen of Carl Mason. will be shown for the first time here. Trust worthy reports, as voiced in the ut ferances of able critics who reviewed 1t on the occasion of its original pro- duction by the Keith Players. at the Hudson theatre, credit it with the possession of a. cleverly conceived and Interesting story of great strength in which the element of suspense Is maintained throughout. and with the action moving consistently forward to a climax unexpected and ingen- 1ously confrived As in several pop ular plays of the, melodramfic type that haye won success in the past few seasons, this one has a scene based on the attempt of the police authorities to fix fhe guilt for a u1ys- terious murder upon an innocent wo- murder and that circumstances point the murdered man lend an atm mosphere of pruhabf1ity tD her guilt. In the end. however, her complete innocence is shown through the efforts of a re- formed girl Of the underworld, and the crime is brought home to the business partner of the murdered man The story is told in a succinct and connected manner with rare de-. gree of cumulative interest It has an admfxture of comedy that is the natural expression of phases of the action. n has, been staged by W. c.

EMPIRE


 A rather unique ending has been arranged by Director Edward Dillon Tor Ann Pennigton in her newest Par amount picture, "The Antics of Ann" This is a distinct departure from the conventional ending, which as a mat ter of course displays the heroe and the heroine in a. fade out'' of some romantic love scene.
 In "The Antics of Ann,'' the cele- brated little dancer of 'tziagland Fol- 1ies'' fame is seen at the close of the film bravely eating biscuits with her (of course) screen husband. She made the biscuits herself. and Judging from what we have previously seen of the fair heroine, fudge would be dis tinctly more in her line.
 The story is one of the most spon- taneously humorous of any Miss Pen nington has so far appeared in. It is to be shown at the Empire theatre today, tomorrow and Saturday. Nu- merous other screen plays will be shown in conjunction with the fea- ture-

PLAZA

Judging from the lineup, the Plaza management has arranged for the latter half of the week that popular amusement resort will do as big bus mess as was recorded the first three days.

Pretty, smartiy -cpstumed young women in new songs, and artistic dances aided in their efforts by a couple of talented comedians should prove an entertaining feature.

EXECUTION OF WOMEN

The world today Is mortified when it is apprised of the execution of women The cruel putting to death of Edith Cavell will forever remain a black spot on the German name, but even when, such executions, accord ing to the laws of war. are justified, such as the recent shooting of the Paris dancer by the French military authorities. after the woman had ad- mitted that she was spy, excites our horror. It was notrso long ago that the execution of women was accept ed as matter of course. for in the "good old days" the fair sex enjoyed no immunity from the exaction of the extreme punishment for crime. Of the many executions of women which took place in old England, that of Mrs. Anne Turner was one of the most remarkable. It was just 302 years ago today, on Nov. Is, 1915, that the famous beauty paid the pen alty for her participation in the mur- der of Sir Thomas Overbury, who Maa poisoned in the Tower through her. agency. Mrs. Turner was the companion of the fascinating Countess of Essex, daughter of the Earl of Suffolk, who had been married when only thirteen to the Earl of Essex She had little love for. her husband, but bestowed her affections upon Viscount Rochester. Mrs. Turner aided the Countess in her amour with Rochester, who owed his rise in life largely to Sir Thomas Over bury. Perceiving that his illicit love affair was likely to ruin Rochester, Sir Thomas urged him to give up the woman, and passed some severe re- Elections upon her character. The countess determined to revenge herself. She and her lover induced King James to throw Sir Thomas into the tower. He. was poisoned soon [afterward, and Rochester and the Countess, who had divorced her hus- band married her lover. were charg- ed with the crime. Mrs. Turner and several others were accused of being accomplices. While Rochester and his wife escaped with some years of Imprisonment, Mrs. 9 Turner was hanged. She had been leader of the Fashionable world, and, by order of the judge, she was decked in all her finery before being led to the scaffold.
