Opera House Offerings

Which Type of Woman L
Does a Man Prefer?
A question of ethics with an in
tensely modern slant is given a
clever treatment in the big Selz-
nick feature picture, "Just a
Wife, to be shown at the Opera
House next Saturday.
Who has the real right to a
man IS regard and affection-the
woman who has been "The Power
Behind the Throne of his life
helping him to SUCCESSOR the
woman who married him for
money and then discovered that
she loved him?
Shall a woman who has sacri-
feed her brain power, her youth,
and her good name for man, step
aside in favor of a girl who takes
his name leaglly, enjoys his wealth,
and gives nothing save belated
affection?
Which type of woman does a
man truly care for-the intellec-
tual, self-reliant kind who can help
him build fortune or the sweet,
domestic woman who can surround
him with beauty, make him COM
Portable, and demand protection?
Wife--Or good comrade? Which
woman finally wins in the eternal
battle for love?
These are a few of the phases Of
an unusual situation which exists
in the brilliant drama, "Just a
Wife"
