At the Theatres

The Majestic will offer 1.-THE Single
Code Saturday. Seldom has there
been presented on the picture stage a
more telling contrast than that wit
messed in the Horsley-Mutual pro-
duction Of '"The Single Code" illus
trating the point that a double stand
ard OF morality is criminally unjust.
Crane Wilbur in his character of
Hugh Darlington, husband of the So
| ciety girl, is forgiven by his wife af-
| ter she discovers his former Jason
with an adventures. Later, CARING
ton, learns of an episode in his wife's
debutante days and confronts her
with the evidence. He goes to his wife
as the stern judge and the man can
not find in his heart forgiveness for
the woman who has freely absolved
him, despite the patent fact that her
SHINING was through ignorance, while
he lived the tainted life of a man
about town" for years before his mar
riage and sinned with full knowledge.
Here is a most effective paraphrasing
| of the deadly parallel to point moral.
Snow White" will be the attraction
at the Majestic Sunday and Monday.
This perturbation of Grimm's fairy
/ tale enacted wholly by juveniles can
list in the library of children's pro-
auctions. The plot is as exciting and
absorbing to the younger mind of
the present as it was to the younger
mind of the past. Snow White" is
the prettiest girl in the land and her
stepmother, who is not pretty, wants
to get rid of her. She tries in divers
ways but fails always, and, of course,
in the end Snow White and her prince
are united, and the witch stepmother
driven from the land.
Harry T. Morey, of the Vitagraph
players is to be seen in a new role
that makes use of his exceptional
powers of strong character portrayal
Together with Robert Edeson, he is
featured in the new Blue Ribbon fea-
| ture, For a Woman's Fair Name
which will be offered at the Classic
Sunday. The title aptly describes the
play. 1t tells the efforts of a man to
shield woman, even though he is
subjected to suspicion from his best
| friends, becomes separated from his
sweetheart, and is finally accused of
ATTEMPTED murder.
More than three hundred extra peo-
pie were engaged by Director Edward

lures of this production
