"MORALS FOR MEN."

A PERTINENT QUESTION ASKED. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE, TO-DAY. Very opportunely this great picture comes before the public, for modern society was never more insistently confronted with the. subject dealt with than it is to-day. The story ig ono that is .brought before us nearly every day, but never a finger is lifted to give the woman juctice. Man, from the very beginning o? things, has j;one free. . J±e gees free to-day— at the expenss of what? v. ? The woman, of course And what a price she pays, even if enly a negative form of happiness is hers for a brief per.od f 'Morals for Men,' 1 although treat°(..a f&miliar subject, is an entirely unfamiliar picture. The spectator Lever knows what turn the picture will take and many are the surprises. Most emphatically, the play is . not sordid, and both the man and the woman rise to wonderful heights of unselfishness and selfsacrifice, thus lending a very high tone indeed to the whole story. Another fine production .scheduled for presentation is a colourful story from the yen of Robert Hichens, "The Lady Who Lied," released by First National. It ia an eventful 9tory that embraces . Paris, Venice at carnival time, and the sun-baked, vivid streets of ok! Algiers. Witii its bizarr? back" grounds, pulsing drama and clean-cut characterisations, it promises to be one of the most brilliant;? beautiful films ever witnessed. Allied to this splendour of colour m the _ temperamental cult of Robert Hiohem with its ve:n of paesion and intrigue. Lewis and Virginia Vaili are the principals, and appearing with them is the exotic Nita Xaldi, who introduces the glamorous atmossphere of Africa.

Bellingham, F.S.M., will play a special programme of orchestral music, including: Overture, "Wait for the Waggon" (Woodhouse); suites, "Minehaha," "The Pursuit," Love Pong (Coleridge-Taylor); "Japanese Suite' (Hoist); "Chanson Indove" (RimskyKorsakov); ballet music, "Hamlet" (SaintSaens); entr'acte, "Barcarolle" (Offenbach) ; opera, "Carmen' 1 (Bizet); selection, "Katja the Dancer" (Gilbert).
