CENTRAL-Barbara La Mari in
"Poor Mems Wives"

A drama of striking contrasts. with
a wealth of spectacular effects and a
deep note of human nature. is prom
Used in Poor Mems Wives" at Gran
dall's Central Theater this week, be-
ginning this afternoon. 1t is only
this pictures dramatic power, its
thrilling interest, it's magnificen mt
beauty and its capable players that
holds 1t for a full seven-day period
at the house where two features a
week is the rule.
The story traces the experiments Of
two young models in the shop of a
fashionable nodiste. One leads a gay
butterfly life, finally marrying an old
roue of vast wealth; the other Is a
home builder, who wedS a taxi driver
and settles down to a life of service
to her husband and her little ones.
The butterfly, Jealous of the happi-
ness which has come to her former
associate, plots to create the same
state of mind as her own in the con-
tented mother and succeeds through
a trick. Gayety, lights, music, flow
ers and jewels turn the wife's head,
and then follows a series of compli-
cations that give climacteric force
and interest to the story.
Betty Francisco Is cast as the but
terfiy and Barbara La MARI as the
drudge.
Poor Mems Wives will be pre-
scented with unusual musical and
scenic effects and will be supplement-
ed by q comedy, "Green as Grass;
the Kilograms and pipe organ recitals
by Mr. Thompson.

are scattered, it being all of twenty

Socially and in the matter of con-

even more distinct than they are in
