McLEAN’S PICTURES.

There will be no picture display at the Opera House to-night. “The Strange Woman’ ’ a big Fox sensation will bo the attraction at the Opera House to-morrow night. The story'lias do do with the marriage and free love. The picture presents many marriages for what they are and effects a striking contrast between a woman who refuses to be shackled to a man, even though she is desperately in love with him, and the other women who have been bound by a wedding ceremony. “Most mothers who are careful of their daughters teach them that they can have pretty much of the kind of behaviour they want of a man; but not one mother in ten, instils into her son

from the beginning that he can have the kind of behaviour ho wants of a girl and sees to it with all her soul that ho wants only the best.” Woman marries for love, money, or to have a home. It is not known why men marry.” We frequently hear references to the “Sanctity of the marriage laws” ; but as a matter of fact they are not given a. proper and effective standing before the courts. Love laughs at lovers’ vows and the law laughs at marriage vows. The big open air serial “Stingaree” will be shown.
