BATTLE Of SEXES
At THE Strand
All Star Cast to Feature

There are few pictures being

audience into a silence Of tears and

laugh-a loud uproarious guffaw of
spontaneous merriment-yet D. w.
Griftith's 1.-The Battle Of the Sexes,

beginning Sunday for four days.
did that very thing.
The joys of the average home: its
disappointments: its humor and
small tragedies have been ably
caught by Griffith, who shows an
innate sense of the romanticism w.
ing behind Americas greatest insti-
tution-the home.
1t seems safe to say that no bet
ter example Of comedy through pa
thos has been seen In years. The
picture is so thoroughly human that
Q sympathetic flow of interest is
aroused In the actions OF all Of its
players.
The story is built upon the theme
OF modern gold-digger who
wrecks a mans home and steals
the man to satisfy her own lust for
gold. In the end she loses the man
but Is victorious in that she has ac-
complished her purpose-money.
Throughout the story there is a
strong upper current of pathos as
the mans wife and two children
struggle to regain their home-the
old battle OF the sexes.
Jean Hersholt, as the erring
father, portrays what is easily one
of the finest character roles of his
great career. Phyllis Haver as the
gold-digger. Marie. plays an unsym-
pathetic role and is the direct cause
Of much of the comedy. Belle Ben
nett gives a sympathetic perfor-
nance as the mother who becomes
half.crazed; Sally O'Neil is natural
as an unsophisticated home girl who
IL instrumental in bring her
estranged parents back to the do
nestle fold and Don Alvardo as
Jimmy plays the role OF male
goldeaigger. The rest of the cast in
cludes William Blackwell and John

The road back to the city leads
past Andrews park, just opposite
the triangle at Hillcrest avenue.
Here again has been enacted a
scenic transformation. A small tri-
angle, now known as Andrews park,
formerly nothing but mud hole
and at its best doing duty as duck
pond, has broken out with the sud
den epidemic of ambition manifest
ed by the other parks. Here the
superintendent has had installed
several lines OF sewT pipe and a
few catch basins. The mud hole has
disappeared, buried under tons and
tons of fertile earth. and a grassy
lawn covers the spot. Flower beds
will mark the spot where the ducks
were wont to kick the stagnant wa

North Street Improvement
A brief trip over North street to
the head OF Main street and again
are found evidences of much work
and careful thought producing re-
suits. The bank where North street
runs into Broad as it passes the fire
house, has taken on Il new dress.
No longer does it turn its dirty. I'M

of the city. Washouts, which for

storms and only the green front OF
a tcrraced hillside shows where
once was the rugged bank.

intersection of three streets, has d.

grove of tall timber in one corner.
