The Way of a Woman" Norma
Talmadge's latest Select picture.
which is the feature tonight at the
Hippodrome theatre, is already
familiar to many Of our readers in
its stage form, when it was called
Nancy Lee;" the play was by the
well known Eugene Walter, and the
photoplay version retains all the ele-
ments of dramatic suspense which
made the play so popular. Miss Tai
madge's performance ADDS another to
the long list Of superlative screen
characterizations which have endear-
ed this sterling actress to countless
film fans throughout the country and
i have raised her to a position second
to none among the leading lights of

/ The story OF 1.-THE Way Of a
Woman" deals with the trials of
young southern girl Of an aristocratic
but poor Virginia family, who mar
ries dissolute New Yorker, for the
financial advantages she hopes he
will bring to her family.
Come early. Regular admission
prices. Bring the family where you
are assured pleasant evening OF
entertainment-the Hippodrome.
"The Career Of Catherine Bush"
Three Weeks" is outdone. both as
story and photoplay, in this newer
flight Of woman's fancy by the
noted Elinor Glyn. 1.-THE Career Of
Catherine Bush" is flippant, daring in
theme. but, above all, brilliantly act
ed and exquisitely gowned and
mounted. This feature picture will
be shown at the Grand tonight at
regular admission prices. Catherine
Calvert, John Goldsworthy and Craw.
ford Kent are included in good cast,
the former very beautiful indeed
among the lavish settings of the pic
ture.
In the story of 1.-THE Career of
Katherine Bush" Elinor Glyn paints
the portrait OF young woman who
carves out her own career success
fully, but before she reaches her goal,
that of marriage with celebrated
nobleman, she suffers many a bitter
pang, occasioned by her recollection
of imprudences OF her early life. She
is a woman of high ideals and she
risks the loss Of the love Of the man
she yearns for by telling him of her
career, but instead OF sacrificing her |
future, he takes her to him forgiv. |
ingly and both are rendered happy.

sieur Picard, a rogue of Paris. who
takes extreme delight in trucking the
police at every one of their many ex-
cited turns. In fact, Picard is just
about the smartest society crook in all
Europe His intimates also know him
as gentleman and hero for he fought
during the long years of the war and
returned with the highest decoration
4 Frenchman can receive-the Croix
de Guerre.
However. hero or no, the pr feet Of
