STRONG SEX PLAY IS
BILLED FOR TONIGHT
“The Woman Thou Gavest Me,” one
of Hall Caine’s most popular novels,
dramatized and adapted for the screen,
and played by Katherine MacDonald,
most beautiful of film stars, with a
supporting cast especially selected for
their respective parts, is the big Art
craft special production to be shown
at the Empress tonight.
Wedded by a selfish father to a dis
solute cad whom she loathed, this
pure young girl was expected to “love,
honor and obey.” The world called
that right.
Then she spurned the ties her hus
band had already broken, shattered
the conventions that bound her, and
sought the aid of a decent man she
loved. The world called that wrong.
You who believe a woman has a
heart, a life of her own, judge.
As a book, it thrilled millions. As
a picture it will stir your soul.

MEDITATION [
Men are seeing dimly the failure of
their old ideals. A century ago they
j‘built high hopes on the “rights of
man” and the “rights of nations.” The
; first were secured by good laws and
l institutions; second, by well-balanced
treaties. What happened? Every
! man for himself; capital against labor
and labor against capitl; nation
against nation in a trade battle. In
holding fast to our ‘rights’ we lost
sight of our duties, and especially the
<Juty of service and sacrifice. We fail
to realize the dominion of Christ in
history, but when man is aroused and
feels touch of that infinite hand he
realizes that things are temporal. He
is not satisfied, nor very happy, sin
becomes real, the eternal is full of
voices calling mankind up to a higher
plane of existence—Christianized civ
ilization.
