DID YOUEVER HEAR OF
THE LUCK OF The IRISH?

Did you ever hear of the luck of the
Irish? Dreamers, the sons of Erin
may be, often are, but do they eyer
let a chance for a fine adventure slip
past them? Never! That is why
Harold MacGrath's novel, The Luck
of the Irish,"r abounds in such amaz-
ing situations, for a man named Gro
gan is not the man who would ever
stand in stupid daze and watch op-
portunity go past.
Grogan, being a true son OF Erin,
had dreamed many dreams, but he
was wide enough awake when the
time for action came. Gaily, jauntily
courageously. he tucked Miss Oppor.
tunity's arm under his own, and away
he went.
There were a few dark places for
Grogan, after he set out so gaily with
Opportunity, but he never lost cour-
age, and how we'll he Jared in the end
you will see, for all his dreams came
true and all his luck came right

SAY WORKING GIRLS
MAKE BETTER. WIVES
Norma Talmadge in "The Woman
Gives" Demonstrates Reasons
For Conclusion.

Working girls VS.. society butter
flies as candidates for wifehood have
furnished the material for countless
lectures debates. and articles, but the
fundame ntai reason why the girl who
has earned her own living probably
will make the most successful life
companion for any man is disclosed
in the result OF any investigation -of
number OF students OF eugenics
As in the case of many other things
which have been regarded as a new
development due TO our different mode
OF life, the reason has been known
for ages. Philosophers long ago
wrote that "true happiness comes
through service to others" and
the reason why the working girl
stands the better chance of becoming
happy wife Is because service OF
giving" has become a matter OF
habit with her where, with the other
girl who has always been given every
thing. the. habit of taking" only,
without making return, has become
so fixed that II is almost impossible
for her to meet the difficulties which
matrimony entail.
. Marriage Is Sacrinee.
at is almost trite," reads the re-
port, "to call attention to the fact
that matrimony is sacrifice. The truly
happy, couple lis the couple in which
the sacrifice made by each is equal,
that is, that each one gives as much
as they take. This balance may vary.
A selfish wife may make a happy mar
riage,, but not If she is utterly selfish,
for one party to the contract cannot
assume the entire load of service with
efficient results.
mo matter how selfish a man may
be, he has been taught from child
hood some sort of respect for women,
that is, service has been instilled in
him to some slight degree. The girl,
however, can become utterly selfish
for the code of chivalry requires sery-
ice from none but the male. There
fore an utterly selfish man is an eS-
ception, where the American habit OF
indulging girls and women tends to
produce the utterly selfish wife"
Contrast Shown In Motion Picture.
Miss Norma Talmadge has we'll eN-
emplified the difference between the
woman prepared by work to do her
share of the problems of married life
and the onewho shirks. In THE
Woman Gives" which will be the at
traction at Moore's Rialto Theater be-
ginning tomorrow, this young screen
star takes the part of a young tall
ented girl to whom giving" is as
natural as breathing. The story re-
lates how this virtue of hers proves
the making of one man and the saw
ing of another, whom "a woman who
takes" has started on the road to
ruin.

/ ROBERT ELLIS Is
ACTOR-DIRECTOR
Attributes Success to His Knowledge
Of Acting and Ability to
"Show En- How" 5

An exponent OF the highly success
+, full school of actor-directors is Robert
Ellis, the young SelznicS director who
recently completed the filming Of
George Barr MeCutcheon's "A Fool
and His Money" O'Brien's latest star
ring vehicle, which comes to Loew's
Columbia tomorrow. This picture and
others which he has directed speak
convincingly for him as far as direct
ing is concerned, and as an actor he
has an equally worthy past. 49,
One of the secrets of, Ellis success
in directing pictures lies,iin the fact
that he himself knows. how to act.

Can show 'Em.
He not only knows how person
should register. but he can show that
person how. There is. perhaps. no
director OF pictures today who gets
closer cooperation from his compa-
r,ies than Robert Ellis for that very
reason.
He builds by the action in his pic
lures according to the simple rule or
thumb, taking a particular scene
-oyer and over and OVER, until 1t ap-
proximates closely his conception OF
what il should be.

The Directors Job. p.
"Ona the screen there is no~spoken
word to distract the attention of an
audience from the awkwardnessNo of a
gesture or pose; there is no scintil-
lsting observation to occupy its mind
while a bit of stage business is got
through with. The eye of the audi
once is concentrated and all-seeing.
The job of a director is to so arrange
scenes and actors that every detail
may be worthy of tho closest inspec-
,;on.
But it is fascinating work to watch
emotions crystalline under ones di-
rection; to call forth tears and anger,
'&ughter and joy; to be the arbiter OF
facial expression. A director partakes,
vicariolisly, in the entire gamut of
emotions possible to the human race"
