ton engagement at Loew's Column
bia Theater last Sunday afternoon.

lance of it's cast, which is headed by
Betty Compson and which includes
Mahlon Hamilton, Leatrice JOY.
Cleo Madison and many other noted

In Ladies Must Live" Mr..
Tucker has brought to the screen
a splendid and engrossing screen
study Of modern womanhood and
metropolitan social conditions, which
was first revealed in story form
under the same name by Alice Duer
Miller.
It is a story of the petted dar-
lings, the pampered kittens Of q
hundred cities-the women who,
faced with the necessity of living,
gladly exchange their youth and
their beauty for the luxury and
the ease of the social parasite.
In this production, which has
already been accorded a remark.
able reception by local screeh
enthusiasts, Miss Compson is see"
as a girl who lives off the bounty
of a rich brother-in-law and who
conspires with her father to con-
tract a rich marriage for herself.
in order that both may have the
ease and luxury they crave.
The. romantic motive OF the story
is furnished by a young aviator
who is projected into the life Of the
kirl and who, despite his penniless
condition completely fascinates her.
The manner in which she heeds the
call of love, despite her former mer-
cenary intentions, furnishes one OF
the most engrossing screen plots
seen this season.
The management has arranged to
give the production remarkable
program contrast with brilliant
array of added hits, including The
Merry Wives Of Windsor" overture.

Rupert Hughes in
Hall of ERrgy

n UPERT HUGHES, author Of
III the latest Goldwyn photoplay.
From the Ground Up" has
been nominated for a place in the
Hall of Energy once occupied by the
champion of the strenuous life.
1t would be more appropriate to
suggest the entire family for that
honor. Adelaide Manola Hughes,
his wife, contributes her share Of
energy toward making the world go
round, while Rush and Avis. their
son and their daughter, are fast be.
ing prepared to bring new laurels
to the family name.
Mrs. Hughes, who is a poet Of pro-
nounced ability, has just published a
book of free verse which has been
praised by well-known critics. In
addition to her literary efforts, she
is prominent In social and charitable
work, and recently took a large part
in the Actors Fund drive.
Rush and Avis are putting the fin
fishing touches on liberal educations.
Rush is finishing preparatory school
and expects to enter Princeton. after
which he will either follow his par
ents' footsteps or take advantage of
his natural acting ability and screen
personality to appear before the cam
era. Avis is about to be graduated
from a dramatic school.
Rupert Hughes activities need no
introduction. Besides writing short
stories, novels and photoplays, he
composes for and plays the piano.
He is known as one of the best
after-dinner speakers in America and
is much in demand by various or
CARNATIONS and clubs. In addition
to this, Mr.. Hughes manages to
spend about eight hours a day at
the studios while his photoplays
are being filmed. He has made, II
a practice of supervising every pic
ture that comes from his pen. His
literary work is done between the
, hours of IL p. m. and 2 a. m. All
of which leads one to suppose that
Mr.. Hughes knows the meaning Of
hard work.
