what Women Want" is the title
of the new Pioneer picture with Lou
Use Huff which Is being shown here
for the first time at the Crescen;
theatre.
The title of this picture What
Women Want" opens up a field of
speculation which dates back even to
Mother Eve. and this question will
probab bly, remain unsolved even unto
the morning when Angel Gabriel
blows his horn for the world TO shut
up shop and go out Of business.
All the ladies who hold positions
in history. as Cleopatra, Jezebel, Sa-
lone. and the ill-famed Empress
Theodore down to our present fe-
male advocates of women's rights
manding a long list of items and
privileges which women fancy they
want.
The photoplay in question takes
upon itself the responsibility of say
ing that the solution of this great
question is simply LOVE" Give
her enough of this hard to define
commodity known as love and h
will be perfectly happy.
Perhaps the motion picture is cor
rect in its diagnosis of feminine de-
sire. but at any rate the subject has
afforded the photoplaywright a re-
markable opportunity for the con-
struction of a screen play.
The management of the theatre
advises all, regardless of sex, who
are interested in finding out exactly
what women want to buy their tick
cts early in order to avoid the crowds
OF curious who are expected to be on
hand to see this picture.
