"Wives and Other Wives" the latest
 Mary Miles Minter feature, is a story
 full of comedy situations, perplexing di-
 lemmas and rich in human touches This
 picture proved treat to the crowds who

 The story is based on the sensitive
 ness of young brides heart. the sus-
 ceptibility of brand new husband, and
 harmless little things Mrs Challoner. portrayed by Miss Minter, causes her husband to believe that she loves an- other. He takes the first expedient-- departure from his own fireside.
 The bride shoots or believes she shoots a supposed burglar-in reality merely man who is wandering around in her apartment by mistake. She rushes for a doctor and, just after she has gone, her repentant husband comes back. He finds the man lying in his wife's room appar- entity intoxicated and the fires of jeal, ousy are kindled anew.

Here follows some extremely humorous mix-ups, but all fin ally ends in sunshine after the storm" ! It is said that in this picture Miss Minter gives more exquisite facial ex- pression to her work and subtle emo tional performance than in any of her other features. The fact that she DOT trays young matron does not, naturally
 giev her a latitude which could be ex- pected of strictly juvenile actress.

Both declared gas was a very effective force. Liquid fire was said by General McAndrews to be the most effect weapon the war produced but subjected to limi- tations in use.
