In a series of scenes, each more in teresting than the other the story of John Doe will be unfolded from the time when, as hopeful man, he finds employment and a. home with a kind hearted farmer, to the dreadful hour when as a broken creature he waits the summons of the eXecutioner for the brutal murder of his benefactor.
 The farmer and his sister are shot and in John Does possession is found a pistol. That is the only shred of evil dence against him.
 But conscienceless detectives by false testimony, by confessions wrung from the accused by that mod ern torture known as the third de- gree 'overwhelm their victim, swear away his life in court and rush him to the condemned cell
 Only at the very last moment is John Doe saved, and this, not because the administrators of justice have seen that this justice" has nis":irr'ed, but because a clever woman .wyer has seen little rift in the weli-laid case against the innocent man, and with this as the opening has torn the whole plot to rags and saved a human life.
 Step by step, with ever growing ex- citement, the audience will be led ir the unfolding of this moving tragedy.
 The enmeshing of the man, the bru- tality of the detectives, the perfume tory proceedings of the court, the ter rible moments when, an all-night fight for a reprieve was being made in the very shadow of the electric chair-al of these things will be shown with un- flinching fidelity and unflinching realism.

of the same blood, there arose a firm boyhood friendship, Pete destined to bear the stain of illegitimacy all his days, and Philip, whose task in life was to be the retrieving of the caste and position his father had lost. In manhood their friendship grew the firmer and the intimacy between Pete, now fisherman, and Philip a bril- liant lawyer, was spoken of all over the island
 And now the woman. She is Kate Cregeen, daughter of the owner of a little country inn, and she grows up from childhood with Pete, but as the girl becomes woman she loves Philip But she has promised to marry Pete and so she does. Both men love Kate but both men loved each other none the less dearly on this account.
 The story of Kate fairly epitomizes the great story of sex, hers is the struggle, the fleeting happiness, the misery that is sometimes the heritage of woman, and greatly she loves, suf- fers and endures. As it moves to. ward it's close, when Pete makes the great sacrifice when Philip turns aside from all the high honors that might have been his, the story grows evel stronger and stronger in it's poignant intensity, finally reaching a cliamX O. mighty pathos and power.

EMPRESS

For six generations the eldest son of the Christian family of Ballawhaine, Isle of Man. had held the office of Deemster. The Deemstership is prac- tically the highest office to which a Manxman can aspire, and the Chris tians of Ballawhaine naturally occu- pied a unique position on the island. About this family, whose name had be- come a synonym for those high quali- ties the Manx men demand of their highest magistrate, the story, "The Manxman," which will be seen at the Empress Sunday, is woven. This will also be the attraction on Monday and Tuesday.
 The sixth member of the Christian family to hold the honored position was popularly known as Iron Chris tian and his eldest son well nigh broke the old mans heart by marrying be- meath him. then sinking to the leve of the wretched woman he took tC wife, who bore him a son, Philip.
 Iron Christians younger son, Peter married to please his father soon after Thomas banishment. Peters cold per sonality made him no friends and only one soul on the island was ever known to have loved him, the golden haired daughter of a poor fisherman. Petel discarded her before his marriage. ant while the islanders gossiped nightly the girl said nothing ,only wrapping her love the closer about curl, headed little one she called Pete

that when Mrs. Social Climber was created the good Lord was short of brain material and sort of made a bum job of it.
 Bear in mind this: The woman within the select social circle has enough moral courage. common sense, and judgment to part company with fashion when to follow it's decree would ruin her health, besides she is too good a citizen to spend SIS for a pair of shoes when she can get a more com fortable and durable pair for $750 sho would rather devote the difference to- wards some worthy cause like Red Cross, charity, or invest it in baby bonds
 Please do not lay the blame on the shoe salesman or the shoe dealer. as it is his business to sell the shoes that are demanded The American woman can get any kind of shoes they demand and now is a good time to take the matter up in your clubs and societies as you owe it to your own health and as good citizens to make concerted move towards adopting a style of shoe that is plain and comfortable. say the military style with large medium high heels and the natural last toe. You have done some wonderful work for the government and the nation during this war, but there is nothing more import ant and nothing that would demon- strate your moral courage and patriot ism more than to adopt comfortable shoe and one that would save the ma tion at least s500,000, 900 a year.
 1 write this not to get my name in the papers or to be a reformer, for reformers are neither popular nor prosperous, but simply because I can not keep still when I see our women S feet getting crippled more and more every year since the present style of shoe came into vogue
 If you want to convince yourself about it, induce say six of your fash ionably shod lady friends to remove shoes and hose; then get six little girls about five years of age, compare the shape of your foot and toes with theirs and see whether you have used your intelligence to improve yours looks and health of your feet or whether you have let your vanity de- l form them.
