HKILIG Portrayin at onc a pretty
romance, a myotery plot and a melo
drama of much action, "What Women
Will Do," an important fUm production,
la alatad for presentation at the Helll
theatre for three day, starting" Thurs
day, March 17. Performance will be
continuous from 1 to 11 p. m. daily.
"What Women Will Do" ia a celluloid
answer to the question, "Is woman the
product of her environment?" Yet the
answer comes bound round with enter
tainment, comedy and drama. Regener
ation Is Its baslo them and its featured
.player Is Anna Q. NUsson, a screen star
of many talents and much beauty. Miss
I Xllsson plays the role of a airl of the
underworld, a victim of her environment,
twho la reclaimed and brought to a high
plane In a moral and social sense by the
faith and the love of an ared, wealthy
woman, whoa fortune " the girl has
sought td gain by Infamous ends.
The girl poses as the widow of the
aged woman's suicide son and wins her
way into the home to work her schem
and get the family fortune. But she has
diot counted on her conscience, and -con
cienc proves a bar ; to her plana. A
Tpretty romance figures in the plot, and
Jhe story, ' though . It shows New Yortt
life In a multitude of varieties, yet has
. an ending that is said to be thoroughly
Jbappy and entirely convincing. - Miss
$Nllason is aided in her portrayal by a
capable cast of players.
T3 AKER Another delightful comedy
JJ in three acts. "39 East." wUl be the
'Baker'a offering Uya weelc, for a run of
iO performances, starting with, this
afternoon's show at 2:20 o'clock.
; Rachel Crothere. author of 'J9 East"
pot only has preynted an old subject In
p. new way, but It has been presented
In -such a unique manner that - it haa
proved on of the most successful plays
"which have been offered In stock this
year. ' How -Mies Crothera handled the
old problem of the good gfrl adrift in
the nation's metropolis is almost too
well known to need ' reoetition. Suffice
to . say, that with the boarding house
background, the story has been told in
three acts, all happenings covering the
short period of 'leas than 24 hours. That
Uself makes the play an unusual one
though, of course, the entertainment for
- the publio lasts close to three hours. The
first act opens at the breakfast" In ' the
a?eMailley boarding house, 39 East."
The second act- ia carried to Central
park. New York, and, the last takes the
audience back to the DeMailley parlor
at 39 East. . i : - I r - -
Tha critics have ; had nothing but
praise for the play, for Its unusual treat
ment of an- old theme, worked out in a
new way. The usual matinees and the
bargain night performance tomorrow
will be on the program for this week at
the Baker.
