In Love With Girl a Year Older
Dear Cynthia-Will you please tel
me why it is necessary for man to bta
older than the woman he is to marryY
If it is not necessary, why is 1T dc Il
srable?
| am in love with girl who III
about year older than | am, so decided
to ask you the above questions.
WILLIAM.
1t is not necessary that a man bt'
older than his wife. There have]
been many marriages between persont
whose ages differ by one, two. tnrcsS
and more years that have been ex-l
tremely happy. 1t is usually considered
better for the man to be older than tlle|
woman il it is n question Of years. AND
the ,iGea in general is that as the mani
is the head of the household he is nurtl
entitled to respect if he is a little oldeit
than the woman. There are men, how
ever, who are older in experience and
knowledge than many woman several \
years older. AS in many cases these
things all depend on the persons them II
selves and their own point of view. (.

Writes to nIudvn

| Dear Cynthia--We all remember
Judy and it is with pleasure that
We notice another letter from her in
/ your column. She asks that some one
with ideals answer her letter, and |
am taking her at her word.
! True enough. Judy" the subject of
kissing has been worn threadbare. I
suppose that if Cynthia had existed in
olden days the same subject would have
been discussed as freely as now. with
exactly the same resutS. 1t really rests
with the two concerned as to the morals
of the thing. If girl feels that she is
saving everything of that nature for
The man she is to marry she is to be
all the more respected, and she has every
right to expect the same thing of the
man. Personally. ] have three of the
finest sisters that were ever created,
and feel exactly the same way as
you do about it.
On the other hand. if a girl docs not
have that Unborn womanly instinct to
preserve what is most precious. then
she is losing nothing in giving some
thing of which she does not appreciate
the full value. A man does aud will
respect the girl who refuses him, and
if she is anywhere near what she ought
TO be she will respect him the more for
not asking her. 1t is too valuable a

loses its value and significance.
As TO sex equality: From time i'm
memorial man has had the free hand.
and as long as he did not oyerstep all
bounds his sins were forgiven. Why,
| do not know. but the fact remains.
There is no plausible reason that man
should be privileged to indulge in ques-
tionable practices and see questionable
shows and then go direct to a sweet,
womanly girl aud tell her he loves her.
Yet that happens every day in the
week. has been happening. and it seems
that it will always happen. And yet
when the time comes when that girl is
placed in any danger of any kind he is
always the first to defend her and will
give his life for her if need be.
Personally, don't understand it; it
is queer world and made up of queer
people, but pretty good one for all
that. We are never so perfect ourselves
that we can afford to criticize others,
and the critics of the dolls and
paint and powder brigades' and sim
liar organizations" are the very ones
that populate the street corners at night
waiting for chance to pick up the
very ones that they are so adept in
criticizing.
Better let the sex equality take
care of itself Judy. You girls keep
yourselves womanly III every sense OF
the word. always and under every cir
cumstancp, and maybe some day we
men will wake up to the fact that we
ere not playing the game fairly and
will make amends. -

 LATEST ALLISON PLAY

Almost Married" from the pen oi E. V. Durling, is the latest com edy-drama in which the clever Metro star, May Allison, will be seen. This play, which will be shown at the Orpheo theatre Monday and Tuesday Is filled with breezy and unexpected situations.
 The young star enacts the role of a girl of the Swiss Alps who meets the son of millionaire. A romance ensues which, however, is rudely shat tered. The rare beauty of her voice and face attracts the attention of a musical director and he transplants her from her mountain home to the heart of New York where she shines in the front ranks Of a popular re- view.
 Here she meets the boys father and the situations which result are amazing and amusing and cause un- told complications. It is play Which will won popular favor.

IS
 BENEFICIAL TO
 MOVIE HOUSES

2
 Trenton, N. J., is already feeling a beneficial effect from war time pro- hibition in the attendance at motion picture theatres and other places of amusement! Men who formerly at tended shows once a week are now seen to frequent them as often as three or four times in the same week.
 One patron of prominent cafe re- marked that what the men want after a hard days work is recreation. As long as the mind cannot be carried away from mediocre things in a drinking place it must be carried away somewhere else and the movie theater and vaudeville house are the next places in which to obtain relief.
 Realizing that in many places men will turn from the saloon to the pie ture houses, Vitagraph and other pro- ducers have been making pictures that would appeal to the men and give them something far better than the saloon where the cares and wor- ries of the day could be forgotten.
 Ice is scarce in Trenton and the high price may result in playhouses that have been cooling their interiors by refrigeration discontinhing the practice owing to the opposition that is now being. registered in some cities against the use of ice when it is need ed by children, ailing mothers and other persons.
 Again foreseeing the writing on the wall the Vitagraph company, in the early episodes of "The Perils of Thunder Mountain" used snow scenes for the background. The psychologi- cal effect of these scenes is truly marvellous. On the hottest days thea ters showing "The Perils of Thunder Mountain" are literally showing them in. The human mind forgets the heat in watching the snow scenes flashed upon the screen and in one or two in- stances people have actually ex- pressed feeling the chill although the l thermometer registered over 90 de- grees.

Harold Lockwood
 Attains High Fame

Harold Lockwood, who plays the starring role in "The Shadows of Suspicion" the Screen Classics, Inc, production which will be the feature at the Best theatre tomorrow for a two day engagement, excels both as comedian and as an actor of TO- matic roles. His dramatic debut was made soon after his college gradua- tion and his rise to fame was un- usually rapid.
 After a short but triumphant stage career he turned his versatile tal- ents to the screen where he has crea- ted a large and admiring following. MT. Lockwood became leading man for Mary Pickford in "Tess of the Storm Country" "Such Little Queen" Hearts Adrift" and many others, after which he appeared with Marguerite Clark in "Wold Flowers" Seeing a rising star in the young actor Metro soon claimed him and he was made co-star with May Ali son and together they were sene in many notable productions. So keen was the demand for his pictures that he was starred individually and ap- peared Tn such plays as Lend Me
 Your Name," "The Landloper," ;" Broadway Bill," "The Averaging Trail, "The Square Deceiver," Para disc Garden" "Under Handicap" "The Hidden Spring." The Haunted P.s Jamas," "Pidgin Island," and "The Promise. His unusual talents were soon recognized by Metro and he was made a Screen Classics, Inc. star, be- coming in this manner one of the few male stars to be seen in de luxe pro- auctions. Mis- first presentation in this guise was Pals First" adpted from the famous Broadway play of the same name, the seconr on this program was "The Great Romance" while the third is "The Shadows of Suspicion" in which he is seen in the most striking work of his career.

Suspense is Keynote of a Good Story,
 Says Rex Beach

"The question of suspense is one of the greatest in picture production, i" said Rex Beach, the distinguished American author, whose success as a screen writer has equalled his success as a novelist.
 Ut is perhaps the most necessary element of a good story," he added "inasmuch as it is the one which plays upon an audiences emotions and heightens their interest in the unfold ing of the plot. You can't hope for a good story unless you write around suspense"
 Rex Beach is the man who intro duced the flight" into pictures-not merely wrote Story around a pugi, listic encounter, but rather used a fight as the climax. First demonstrate ed in "The Spoilers" later in "The Brand" and last in his "The Crimson Gardenia." MT. Beach has brought potentiality to the screen almost en. tirely undeveloped by others.

Get in a Saddle,
 Forget Troubles,
 Says Movie Star
.(Rv Tom Mix )

Swing into your saddle and forget your troubles. That is what shoulo like to say to every man meet on the city streets; and then l remember that he hasn't saddle to hls name. He may have million dollars, and ne may be president of the Non-Meltabie Icecream corporation-but real, honest-to-goodnes saddle to bounce him out of his worries IS missing among his treasures.
 City men look so worried and pre- occupied. The best of them seem to have forgotten that they have muscles which resent being treated as orna- n1ents and crave for exercise. They sit at a desk from morning until night and are in constant danger of Incoming sissified. Half of them would not be able to tell which is the front and which is the back of the saddle. The city man is apt to stunt the fine physique nature gave him and so lose half the fun in life. He worries and frets and fusses over dollars and cents, instead of breathing deeply and thanking his stars that he is man He thinks that little sport on a Sunday is enough to restore him to the good graces of Mother Nature But it isn't by long shot. Mother Nature has no use for a man who feels he is doing his duty to her when i! he drives a golf ball around the green She cannot help smiling, because she knows that half the time he is won. dering whether his knickers and wool len stockings are not very becoming and the rest of the time he is think. ing of tomorrow down at the office. If man wants to be a real mar he must not go at his exercise in g halfhearted way. He must indulge ir it, body and soul, like the cowboy or the Western ranch. I am sure nc man who owns city skyyscraper car feel half as satisfied as the cowboy who has thrown a steer. And woulc advise any city man who feels 2 twinge of general discontent to get rid of his automobiles, hop on a horse and take swift trot to western ranch.

MILLIONAIRE ONCE NEWsB0Y

A man, formerly a newsboy in New York, bought a building recently paying $1,0O0,000 cash for structure and ground. An interesting fact is that the newsbov made his first real money playing the races, then specu- lated Tn real estate and today is one of the big operators in New York, This mans remarkable experience is called to mind by the coming produc- tlon, of the great Fox racing picture Checkers"
 The man is George Mcclellan. In 1905 he startled the sporting fratern- ity by winning $62,OOO in two days at the Saratoga race track, starting with a $20 stake. He was a newsbov at the time, and sold papers for "Irish :" famous character who operated a newsstand at Times Square. "Irish" had the concession for selling news papers and programs at the Sara toga track, and McClellen was one of his boys. ~ o-
 Mcclellan returned to New York continued selling papers, and invest, ca some of his money in real estate Wlthm year he was operating on 9 1alrly good scale, and now he is among anon, the city's best known realty
 There's a man who had a chance to start out just as Mcclellan did out he didn't have a penny to bet. al, though he had the surest thinp on the track and the horse won at b;a odds; It all happens in "CheckersS which IS made from the famous racinp melodrama by Henry Blossom. Jr.
