"WHAT DO MEN
 WANT?" OPENS XMAS NIGHT

The showing of Lois Weber's latest and best screen drama, What Do Men Want?" at the Empire com mencing December 25, makes the statement just issued by Mrs. Edward s. Bailey, editor of "The Edict" and vice-president of the Illinois Fedora ton of Women's Clubs, of particular interest in Bridgeport. Mrs. Bailey, who is perhaps the most outstanding figure in women's club life in the Mid dle West, says:
 'I believe that the opposition to the movies has arisen from a lack of un- derstanding of just such producers as Lois Weber, her objects and ideals"
 Lois Weber, the author of What Do Men Want?" finds time even while personally directing the production Of her photoplays at Los Angeles, to mtngle freely in club life. Her an- nual trip to and from New York is punctuated with addresses before clubwomen in the larger cities en route, and it is possible that next year she may include Bridgeport in her itinerary, delivery her lecture TWO mans Influence in the Photoplay World" or her expose of ''The Sunday Blue Laws and Moving Picture Censorship" Miss Weber keeps in close touch with clubwomen because she is frank to admit that it is from them she frequently obtains germ plots for her photopIays.

The lady for reasons of ner own will appear yelled at Polls theatre tonight and submit to the weird opera tiun. The Great Jansen mas accepted her challenge to appear tonight The public is due for a blood ungnng sensation.

The famous comedian mas lovable role in photopiay made out of an o. Henry story. Everybody must know what 8 combination O.. Henry and Will Rogers make.
 Beginning tomorrow night for four days, D. w. Griffith's "Dream Street. will be the feature picture attraction. This is one of the best dramas the fa- nous picture tmpresarrio ever pro- duced. It is woven delfcately and deftly out of the Limehouse stories of Thomas Burke, the literary governor of LondOn's most picturesque rende- vouS. Its very title is a measure of its tenderness and subtlety. As a Christmas attraction it is all proper an1 fitting.
 The big Sunday evening show at Polls will carry fl reels, ranging from riotous comedy to thrilling adventure. These Sunday night performances are want the most entertainment value for the3r money.

''What DO Men Want?" Is the problem that is facing most Christ mas shoppers but the only way to find the real answer to the question is to visit the Empire theatre, during the week commencing Christmas Day, Sunday, December 25, where the sen sationaI Lois Weber screen drama of the. eternal unrest in the heart of man, What Do Men Want?S will re- ceive its first production.
 What Do Men Want?" is not a problem for hasty discussion or quick solution. Millions of women have spent years groping for the answer which Lois Weber g1ves in the soul stirring photOdrama which the Elm pire management has secured. It reveals as only Lois Weber, author of the sensa tional fFWhere Are My Chil- dren?" can reveal it, the answer to a question that some time or other ev- cry woman asks, What Do Men

Harry T. Mercy. Kathryn Williams Matt Moore. Faire Binney Grace Valentine and Roland Bottomley head a perfect cast. Other features will make up Sunday even ing'S pr"grarl.

 May Allison is starring in the screen version of Big Game" which is from the success of the legitimate stage of the same title, by Willard Robertson and Kilbourne Gordon.

E~QUINocTIAL STORMS

lhe belief IN equinoctial storms is widespread
and Of long standing. From time imn,emoeials It has
been accepted as = fact that the periods Of the vernal
and auturunal eqnincxes, about March ii and Sep.
TENDER !, respectively, are marked by storms which
are directly related to the seasonal changes which
occur At those times. Sailors, whose calling requires
them to be more observant Of weather than most
other people, are firmly convinced that these tive
periods are storm periods, and that the change from
winter to spring and from summer to autumn is
the direct cause Of storms of more than ordinary
severity which may be expected at those times.
ln8ordcr to confirm or disprove this theory, stu
dents Of weather lore have made exhaustive studies
OF the records, and while the data collected canno,
be cited in detail, the conclusion reached has been
that there IS nothing in the movement OF the earth
in its daily or yearly revolutions which would tend
70 generate storms at these particular periods more
than at any other, and that, in fact, storms are no
more frequent Of violent then than II other times.
Ik IS true that we often have storms about
March III and shout September III. Above have
storms IN July and Deccmbeg. And the storms are
as likely to- occur at one time as IT another, and. ID
be as severe.
