MODERN MARRIED LIFE. “Sailors’ Wives” is a story dealing with modern married life that holds one in suspense right up to the startling dramatic climax, and one that will advance the popular Mary Astor and Lloyd Hughes to even greater favour with theatre-goers. It is a picture that will appeal to everyone, married or single, or in hopes of being either. A young girl is going blind. She decides to throw over the boy she loves and take a last, gay fling at life in the year she has to live. How she fares with the men she chooses for this last fling and the unexpected tragedy which rights the first; these combine to make a picture that grips and holds attention to the finish. It is a picture that will create unusual interest, a daring, vivid exposure of modern married life. The picture will be screened at the King’s to-night only. PERSONAL AND GENERAL ITEMS. Mrs. Amy Kathleen Garlick, wife of Mr. Robert W. Garliek, Toko, awoke at about 5 a.m. yesterday morning and complained of feeling ill. A doctor was summoned, but Mrs. Garlick died before he arrived.
