In The Theatres
POLLS


 What kind of men do women adore? Why do women often reject handsome men who would make good Husbands only to lavish their love in- stead upon the tyrannical and brutal type of man who treats them roughly? Do all women stand for this sort Of thing or is it a fact that only some women are influenced by the brutal side Of a mans nature? These ques- tions are suggested by the remarka- ble interests that women manifest in Carl Laemm1e's production of the million-dollar picture, Foolish Wives" which is being presented at Polls all this week.
 It is a remarkable thing that this picture, which is built around the character of fascinating roue, has a peculiar attraction for women. Men like the picture, too, but it is at the matinee, when the audiences are chiefly feminine, that the picture Foolish Wives seems to make its greatest appeal.
 Off the stage. away from the cam brated director, actor and author of Foolish Wives" is a cultured and polished gentleman of education and refinement. Butte in this pictur Foolish Wives" he has deliberately, created for himself one of the most unpleasant characters ever conceived in literature or in motion pictures a repulsive yet fascinating type of
 
 life preying upon women by making love to them.
 Won Stroheim claims that from his own study of life millions of women are influenced by the sentimental ap- peal of the type of man that men des- pise. He hi4nself-as everybody who knows him admits just the oppo- site of what he appears to be on the screen, but he was led to make this picture because of his alleged discov- cry that women like to see that sort of man and are easily hypnotized by these sly bounders.
 Foolish Wives" is flashed on the screen four times daily: at 2, 4, 6:3o, and g o'clock.

 DAWES.
 The haunts of the Parisian Apaches are reproduced in Betty Compson's latest Paramount picture, .'The Green Temptation" showing at the Dave theatre.
 This is somewhat of 8 triumph in mocion picture architecture, as these dens have never before been exactly duplicated, for tourists are seldom admitted to these underground re- sorts in the old Roman catacombs of IIlS IHySl0IIOuS SIOoP OA al 1SAeAii SS- cret societies.
 The Cafe des Apaches," setting was constructed from sketches sub- nitted by Professor Russell. When in Paris MT. KoSloff was invited by Madame Efroosi to give an Apache dance at 8 big function. To provide an exact interpretation of the dance, Mir Kosloff visited the Apache haunts with a member of the order. There he observed the habits and customs of the Apaches, which he has helped bring to the screen in ''The Green Temptation.''
 All persons at some time or other build castles in the air; but Mary Pickford, queen of the realm of speeches. plays, actually built one on the stage where she makes her pho toplayS-
 Miss Pickford's castle is 226 feet long by one 125 feet wide and it took 100 tons of plaster to build it. Of course, this is castle for the screen. and when the picture has been taken then the castle will fade into oblivion almost as quickly as a castle in the air.
 This remarkable movie set repre- sents the interior of the ground floor of Dorincourt Castle. the ancestral home of the crotchety old Earl of Dorincourt who is conspicuous character in Frances Hodgson Bur nett's famous story, Little Lord Fauntleroy which is the feature at the Empire theatre this week.
