On the Screen

One of the most interesting and
human war pictures which have been
produced is called "For France" a
Vitagraph feature b. Cyrus Townsend
Brady, which was shown in the projec-
ton room.
There are no Stacker problems, no
trenches and no propaganda; it is one
of those pleasant romanccs with the
war zone for a background which used
10 be written while America vas still
a neutral country.
The story concerns the fortunes Of
Gerald Ackland and Marthe Landau.
These two characters are played by
Edward Earle and Betty Hare. Earle
plays with an ease Of manner which
adds not a little 10 the charm OF the
picture, and one could only think all
the time he was on the screen how
much nicer he was than the usual
young person who is chosen to play
the hero in a war film.
A man who is not named on the pro-
gramme, gave an excellent performance
as the young Prussian officer who
sought TO WOO Marthe by all the gentle
arts which PrussIGn soldiers love TO
employ IN their conQuests of unpro-
tected French girls. lie was wonder
fully well cast.
The scenes in the air are so ex-
tremely well done that the illusion is
perfect: the battle scenes too. are not
too long. and at no time are they mere
pufFs Of smoke with bombs bursting in
air. There is action every minute.
but concentrated action which brings
the central figures into the picture at
all times.
"For France" is directed by Wesley
Rucgles, who has produced so many
Vitagraph successes. The assembling
probably has a great deal to do with
that nice continuity which marks the
production and which is so restful. The
picture is not too long, and the actual
war scenes are finished before any one
has chance to tire OF them. ii. U.

a MANS PLACE IN THE HOME.
10y DOROTHY, DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
writer.)

re are all agreed that making q
" home il q partnership job that
w requires the united efforts OF
both sexes.
No man can make q real home by
himself alone although he lives IN a
palace designed by an architect who
Is an artist. and puts tidy on every
chair, and has cook who Is chef. @
= No woman can make a home alone
by herself though she smokes cigar
cites in every room, has a parrot that
swears, and a cat that comes In late.
II takes both a man and g. woman
working together, to create that In
tangible atmosphere that changes a
house into a real home. This being
true, what should be the mans part
IN the actual work Of running the
q home? II he furnishes the money
which maintains It, does that end his
responsibility IN the matter, or has
his wife a right to expect him to add
the role of handy man around the
house TO that of financial hacker?
An interesting light has just been
thrown on this question by a recent
decision OF a Judge Of the Domestic
Relations court. 49, -r.
A man was tried for wife desertiou.
He pleaded as his excuse for having
abandoned his own fireside that his
wife made him do all Of the house.
work In addition to supporting the
family. He said that after having
worked hard all day as carpenter he
would have to cook the supper, make
the beds, sweep the floor. wash the
chiIdren's faces, and often work till
midnight doing the family laundry.
For which reason at last this poor
downtrodden domestic worm turned,
and, IN vulgar parlance, beat 1t.
The Judge, being a Just man. exon
Grated the martyred husband and de.
livered q severe lecture TO the slave
driving wife In which he told her, in
substance, that when man provided
the money TO support a home he had
done all that could be reasonably ex-
pected Of him and that his wife had
no right to burden him with the ac-
tual work of running It. That was her
part Of the business.
A most Just decision, in my opinion.
Personally, think that when man
provides the money to support a
house he has contributed his quota Of
the labor, and that the rest is up TO
his wife. He should be considered an
honored guest who Is not expected to
do any other work or face any ofythe
worry of keeping the household ma,
chinery running.
This is, Of course. II the wife IL
well. Naturally II the wife Is an inya-
lid the husband would have to lend q
hand, but healthy woman who has
not industry and intelligence and ex-.

1 the baby is Just as much her husbands
baby as II is hers and that he's just
! as able to walk Il as she is. Which Is
true, but 1t Is also true that homework
does not require the mental alertness
or the energy that money making does,
and so II anyone is to face their job
with their mental and physical ability
a little under par 1t had better be the
woman than the man.
Moreover, there is nothing about
housekeeping that can't be put off or
sighted, and there is no day in which
a woman cannot find time to take a
little rest II she needs 1t. The bust
nessman, on the contrary, is driven
from morning to night and has no mo-
ment in which to make up his broken
rest as his wife has.
Women do not Intentionally over
burden their husbands. 1t is simply
because they understand so little what
drafts the strenuous modern commerce
fal life makes on a man in mind and
body. They save up odd jobs for him
to do at home, and wonder why he's
SO exasperated when they ask him to
do a few little errands like going by
an intelligence office and sending out
a new cook, or matching a spool of
elephants breath silk, or buying a
half dozen different articles in a de-
partment store that you only have to
go up and down about seventeen diff
ferent floors to find.
A mans business is to make the
money to support the home. A won.
ans business Is to make the home
and as long as the man does not ask
his wife to help him with his job she
should have pride enough not to call
on him for assistance in hers, or to
afflict him with the stories of all of
her trials and difficulties.
Besides the money that the man
gives towards making the home his
other gift should be spiritual. He
should help make the home cheerful
and happy and brave, and that will be
q far greater help to his wife than If
he washed the dishes or peeled the
potatoes.
