Opening thAs afternoon matinee and
continuing all week, Jack X. Lewis
n his associated players will offer to
the patrons of this little theatre a dra-
matization of one of the greatest books
ever written, THE House of Bondage"
The dramatization follows the story
as found in the book very closely and
Is in five acts.
This play scathingly arraigns that
policy of many fathers and mothers
In shielding their daughters from the
world" as they term 1t, by keeping
them in ignorance, thereby making
them the easier possible victims of
the INSCRIPTIONS afterward.
A home where fatherly affection,
motherly love and childish worship are
all subordinated to making enough
money to keep body and soul together
where heat, dirty dishes and conten-
tion prevail. and along with 1t all a
father who allows his children no
freedom whatever, not even the most
innocent amusements-suoh vas the
home that drove poor Mary Denbigh
in her ignorance of the world to search
for love, kindness and sympathy with
a man she had but just met.

an owner of any company has gone
to the same expense as the Theatrical
Operating Co. n they have already

patriotic appeals ever filmed. 1t is TO

practical pacihst. through gradual
stages we watch the progression of
the hero to a self-sacrihcing, high

DITMAS.
Louise Glaum will be seen on the
screen of the Ditmas Theatre today
and tomorrow in her second Paralta
play. ~'Shackled," which was espe-

role of Lola Dexter, an orphan, who
fights the merciless puppets of So

nature until she triumphs. not only for
herself. but for those whom she has
learned to love.
The scenes of the story are laid in
fashionable homes and al Palm
Beach, that exclusive playground
where the American millionaire
spends his holiday. The production
is mounted I'm a most lavish manner
and the costuming proves to be a
veritable fashion show. Miss Glaum
has long been known as the best
dressed mi of the screen n

array of gorgeous creations of the
