"Man-W -Woman-Marriage," given its
Washington premiere at the MetrOpoli-
tan and knickerbocker theaters yester-
day. is decided screen innovation. 1t is
two plays in one. acted with a single set
of principals. 1t is both instructive
and interesting and, while dealing
with a sex problem, is so skillfully
handled as to suggest no need of GEN.
soring. The story. which is from the
pen of Allen Holubar, deals with the
age-long protest of women against
the determinations imposed upon her
by man. Modern in it's main theme.
the plot is built against a background
of excursi ons into history which show
that woman's struggle for freedom
has not ceased since the beginning of
time.
Through the portrayal of these his
torical events, such as the battle of
the Amazons. the picture assumes the
proportions Of an extravaganza. In
cssaying the roles Of women Of the
middle ages and delineating the part
Of devoted wife and mother dealing
with problems of the modern home
Dorothy Phillips makes the most of a
complex of characters Her work
demonstrates a versatility only sell
dom called for in the movies" on
such wide scale. The play, withal,
is strong argument for woman suf-
frage and carries subtle suggestion
that the grantin of the ballot to
woman will lead to legislation for
better protection of woman, for child
welfare and safer home environments.
