1t is conceded even by woman hat

or poor, or ambitious or otherwise.
How some of them manage to do SO
is adequately shown by the late
George Loane Tucker in his screen
masterpiece, Ladies Must Live"
which will be shown at the Opera
House tomorrow and Saturday. In
this delightful and appealing story,
Betty Compson, now a Paramount
star and the featured player in the
picture named, has the role of a
young girl who has been reared by
her rich brother-in-law and whose
r0nniless father plans to marry her
off to some rich man in order that
his income, derived from his son-in-
law. may be increased. The women
in the cast include besides Miss
Compson. Leatrice Joy, Lucille Hut
ton, Lule Warrenton and Marcia
Manon, all players of ability and rep
utation.

indoctrinated in the outstanding
truths of evangelical religion.
