BEST THEATRE.

Today and tomorrow-"Idle Wives,' Universal feature produced by Lois Weber, is a strongly human drama that contains big idea and that puts that idea over in most acceptable form. Although the production has a sensational title, there is nothing vicious in the picture. It treats with delicate subjects, but in way that will offend no one.
 Lois Weber has the leading role in this production, which in reality is a photoplay within a photoplay, in that three sets of characters about to take a very wrong step in life are reclaimed and brought to a realization of their wrong through the seeing of a picture, "Life's Mirror" upon the screen of the motion picture theatre.
 The three sets of characters in- clude a young girl and her lover, a married couple and workman's fam fly. Just what they saw upon the screen, what great wrong each had doing and what the pie ture did for them, is best told in the picture.
 The picture is produced with that characterizes all of Lois Weber's pictures, and while each of her produc- tions is different, still the yall state the truth and drive home their morals as few other productions do. Pre- sented by a marvellous cast in a most finished way, it shows the evils com mon both to the rich and poor and is filled wit hhuman interest and hu- manity and will appeal to all.

The Women


 The hand that rocks the cradle may rule the world all right, but the Wom- an who is competent to handle finan- cial matters is able to take good care of herself which at times may be as important to her. as the question of ruling the world
 Many women today are good finan- ciers. They understand all about handling money. Many of them keep their own accounts at our bank. Other women might profitably follow their example. It's fine of course to depend upon husband, father. brother or. some other friend to save you the care of handling money matters, but the relative you depend on may not be with you always. What would happen then? We invite all the la dies to open a little account with us, no matter how small. The experi- ence will be helpful.
