WEDNESDAY’S PROGRAMME

“THE LESSON.”

Constance Talmadge’s latest Select Picture, “The Lesson,” is a highly entertaining photoplay—wholesome, de* lightful and masterfully produced—a refreshing, clean breath of spring air in the stifling atmosphere of the sexstressing melodramas which crowd the screen to excess.- As such “The Lesson” stands out from the rut of the common garden variety of pictures, but it possesses an additional noteworthy feature in the fidelity with which -the picture portrays small town happenings as well as metropolitan life. Constance the cute and cunning is assisted In “The Lesson” by Tom Moore and the combination furnishes fine entertainment. It is a charming tale of the romance of a pair of typical young married folks—loo per cent, real folks—whose life and love is just what we see about us all the time and everywhere. But even more than its story value, ‘The Lesson’ is so meritorious because of its wonderfully true-to-life portrayal of small town life. It is a picture you will always remember fondly and vividly, and to which you will take your father and mother, your sister and brother, your wife and sweetheart. That is the highest possible recommendation and “The Lesson” deserves It. Book seats as usual.
