GREAT CAST SUPPORTS
JEAN SOTHERN IN ''WHO-
SO FJNDETH A WIFE

A really capable cast is seen in sup
port of Jean Southern, who is the star
of "Whoso Findeth Wife," the fea-
ture at the Arcade Theatre on We'd
nesday and Thursday, July a and S.
The picture is an adaptation of the
well-known novel of the same name,
written by J. Wesley Putnam as an
answer to Hall Gaines famous book,
"The Woman Thou Gavest Me-" In
t'Whoso Findeth a Wife" the author
takes exception to Hall Gaines theory
that a woman may "lead her own life
regardless of the consequences. Num-
erous dramatic scenes are shown in
the production, and Miss Southern,
proba bly, one of the most capable Of
the younger actresses in America, is
seen to splendid advantage.
Leo Delaney, long favorite with
the public for his many splendid char
acter delineations on the screen, is
seen in support of Miss Sothern in
this production. Mr.. Delaney plays
the part of the husband in this produc-
tion, role that calls for an unusually
forceful performance, and his work
is said to be of an unusually high or
der. William O'Neill plays the heavy
part in the picture, the part of young
man, who, while cad at heart, is
still susceptible to good influences.
His acting, too, is said to be very
fine. Ina Brooks and George Henry
Trader play the worldly parents Of the
girl, who force her into the marriage
with the man she does not care for,
and Kirk Brown is admirable in an
Important character part.
