Good Women" a new Robertson Cole production, comes to Polls to- day, for the balance of the week.
 To just what degree one must abide by the conventions of modern society is a much mooted question. There arg those who believe that a woman can Haunt convention and still be con- sidered a good woman. There are others who frankly admit that a woman must remain on the straight and narrow path of convention or be socially ostracized for the slightest transgression.
 In Good Women,'' the new Rob ertson-Co1e super-specia1 production adapted to the screen from. the story by c. Gardner Sullivan, the question of propriety and how necessary it is for a woman to guard her reputation. is carefully brought out. The new picture was directed by Cashier, director of the master photoplay 'fKismet'' and, although a decidedly different type of film. is considered equally important and interesting by Cashier.

WEST END

Clara Horton, the demure sixteen year-old miss who plays opposite Charles Ray in his third Independent production, Nineteen and Phyllis" which is coming to the West End Theatre for an engagement of two days, beginning tonight, is the young est girl who has ever been chosen to appear opposite male star.
 In addition to a charming person ality, Miss Horton is probably gifted with the sweetest disposition of any girl in motion pictures. Miss Horton was playing with MT. Rays pet dog, Whiskers, while waiting to be called onto the set. Whiskers, it seems, be- came a little too affectionate, and as a result of his antics, Clara found herself with a badly torn gown.
 But if any of the studio employees expected an outburst from the little miss, they were sadly mistaken. All that came from Clara was, 'FWhtsk CTS, you little rascal, you'd love me if were in rags!'
 MT. Ray is delighted with the splendid performance which the young lady has given in Nineteen and Phyllis" and states that she will no doubt be seen in his other forthcoming First National attrac- tions.
