Lois Weber's mastery screen drama
of. the hunt for happiness is given
local exhibition
Through constant study and close
observation of different people of
different desires Miss Weber has de-
veloped an almost uncanny ability in
recognizing big, vital problems that
confront average America" and
presenting them in vigorous style
that make people say ''she means
me-" In What Do Men Want?" Miss
Weber has put her best effort into
producing a pulsating drama of
American life that will '.hit home
to millions of people. It is a story
that applies with equal force to the
small outlying communities and the
biggest centres of population.
What Do Men Want?" is Lois
-Weber's greatest picture which means

the popularity of where Are My

1.-THE BROADWAY WHIRL."

Jean Barrett, chorus girl in "The
Broadway Wh1rI', wants to return a
$1,000 bill which a perfect stranger
slipped to her, according to the press
agent, thus proving that chorus girls
aren't as bad as painted-by the
press agent. When Jean and other
girls descended from the stage of the
Illinois theatre, Chicago, recently
during the singing of 'sLet Cutie Cut
Your Cuticle," and began polishing
of the fingertips of men in aisle
seats who didn't have a chance to
escape, she found banknote pressed
into her hand before she could
scream or struggle. Then the signal
came for the girls to let up on poor
suffering humanity and Miss Barrett
had to scamper back on the stage
before she could free the fifty dollar
bill from her grip. But she has hand
ed the half century yellowback over
to the management, with the seat
number and description of the occu-
pant, for she desires the male sex to
know that even if she digs their fin
ger tips she is no gold digger.

Davis has made eighty-eight points;
harp thirty-two; Tomlinson twenty;
Adams ten; while Hinnant, Waldo,
and J. Davis have made six points
each; F. Davis shot 80 out of fifty
three free throws. Following is the

The Wilson High Five made a to-
