THEATRES
"Adam's Rib"-Strand

Cecil B. De Miles new Paramount
picture, Adams Rib" was shown
with marked ucces at the Strand
theatre last night. The picture, feat
uring Milton Stills, Elliott Dexter.
Theodore Kosloff, Anna @. Nilsson,
Pauline Garon and Julia Faye is a
story of the modern girl as an asset
rather than a burden to her family.
The direction by Cecil De Mile is
faultless and the photography and
scenic effects are nothing short OF
marvellous. The vision scene in the
Museum Of Natural History, which
takes one back to the days of the
cavemen is as powerful as it is novel.
1t must be said of Adams Rib" that
it stands alone as an exemplar or
photoplay perfection. The support
is excellent.

"santa Fe ~Trailo-Maiestic

"The Santa Fe TRAIL" which be-
gan it's engagement at the Majestic
Theatre yesterday is of unusual in
terest to the feminine portion ~of
society for the simple reason that 1t
not only tells in al entertaining
manner, an extremely interesting
love story, but it also marks a dis
tinct step forward in Woman's
march of progress.
Women have, it would seem, in
vaded almost all the fields of en-
deavor formerly considered sacred
to the male sex, but 1t appears that
they had overlooked the producing
of motion pictures. This, hereto
fore, had apparently been a mascu-
line prerogative, but now comes Miss
Neva Gerber, a charming and sue
cessful actress of the silent drama
who, not content with the success
she had obtained in the latter role,
decided to branch out as a producer
in her own right.

DR.. Lorenz was issued to sc ysnty-
five persons. y Some of these cases

be taken care of. Those who SUBJ
mitted to the preliminary examina-
ton yesterday varied in ages from
four months to seventy-three years.

why they had come so far to see
DR.. Lorenz, they informed Mr.. Pick

they read that he would hold a elm
ic in this city they decided to come
here and try and have the boy ex-
amined. They were assured that DR..
