HAIL THE WOMAN
WILL Be SCREENED
At STRAND SUNDAY
Hail the woman."

Hail the Wonan!"
Just three words, but under the
masterful handling of Thomas H.
Ince, wizard OF screencraft. master
OF emotional drama. they have been
made to represent the grandest, most
sublimely human. most dramatically
vigorous and the most serenely ap-
pealing motion picture Ince has ever
contributed to the silent stage.
This is the attraction which the
Strand announces for an engagement
starting next Sunday.
Hail the Woman" is the first Of all
perfect in its registering. This per-
fection has been made possible
through the work of the invincibIe
cast Ince assembled for it's inter-
probation.
Florence Vidor essays the princi-
pal feminine role, that of the daugh-
ter of the house presided over by a
man whose religious creed was ''men
and their sons first" A woman Of
unrest, a woman of remarkable char
acter. a woman whose sense OF jus
tice rebelled at the place the world
has set aside for her sex. Gentle,
human, obedient, subservient only be-
cause of her love for her mother, the
placid exterior concealS a heart beat
ing against its leash, a mind filled
with the injustice of humanity. but
girl whose views are warped through
her life, life which precluded the
possibility of her ever coming in
contact with the world. unless she
openly rebelled, something which she
did, and a crisis which leads the
story into channels that indeed strike
new notes in powerful truths.
Theodore Roberts, 'the grand old
man Of the SCREEN" has the finest
character Interpretation he has ever
been assigned. 1t is a role serious, ex-
acting. that of a hard man whose
Puritanical views must not be ques-
toned: kind in providing the neces-
sites of life Ior his family, jealous
of the future of his son and lined up
against the new tangled ideas of
his daughter 1t is study that once
again demonstrates Theodore Rob-
erts is without an equal in character
roles.
Tully Marshall. "the odds Job man."
is at his best Here again is charac-
ter the dominant note, through the
very lack of character in the man
he lives. Lover Of gold, sche1ning for
wealth, even when the happiness and
reputation OF his stepdaughter is at
stake, then carefully covering his
tracks that suspicion might not fall
on himself,
Gertrude Claire is the gentle. kind,
mother, woman who
has been under the rule of the ty-
rant at the head of the house for so
long that she has forgotten that she
is any other than practically the
in the general scheme Of the
family.
Madge Bellamy is the very soul Of
the victim struck down
In the path of a fate as relentless
and as cruel as was ever meted out
TO woman.
Lloyd Hughes is the "spineless"
son Of the household, lad whose
fear of his father overshadowed even
his sense Of manhood. of duty, of
love, and every noble emotion he
should have reflected, and yet his'l
career as carved out by his father
was the most sacred of earthly mis-
sions. Charles Meredith is the man
of the picture, and his role is strik-
ing comparison of the males with !
whom love has brought him into
contact.
Every role in the picture Is por
Erayed by an artist, the finished !
product has been rightfully called |
the greatest woman story ever |
told" 1t is mangiflcently produced, !
'laWlessly directed, and vii prove one |
II the finest values the Strand has
ever screened.
The management announces there |
Will be no advance in prices, and is
urging attendance during the mat |
nee screenings.
