TOWN HALL PICTURES r 1 TO-MOKI’OW >;i(/.HT .hT'T^ :: i'4> Men, even the most helpless antf unsuccessful ones, prefer weak, clinging women rather than strong-minded and highly efficient ones. Snell is the text of “Her Sturdy Oak,” Wanda Hawley's latest picture-play, which will be screened to-morrow night. Men like to be admired and petted, but by someone who is looking up at them, not down. And the efficient woman, no matter how dearly she may love an unsuccessful man, can’t quite help feeling superior to him if she is taking care of him. • ---»

In '“'Her Sturdy Oak” Wanda Hawl(>y plays the role, of a perfect little ignoramus of a clinging vino, who nevertheless wins a man away from a strong-minded female to whom he was engaged, just by sheer foree of her adoration.
