'? * WOMAN'S INFLUENCE ON MAN SHOWN IN DRAMA | l "Man-Woman-Marriage" Pictures Feminine Fall and Rise Those who doubt the world has progressed during the last two thousand years should witness the showing of Allen Holubar's famous Associat-j ed First National production of the eternal-drama "Man-Woman-Marriage," starring the talented actress, Dorothy Phillips. The picture will be show ai the opera house Friday. "Man-Woman-Marriage" is a condensed history of the world's progress?a screen epic and proof positive of woman's subtle and benign influence over the destiny of mankind. In the retrospective Roman scenes of this stirring modern story, beautiful Dorothy Phillips is seen as a Christian slave girl at the court of the Emperor Constantine. In the mighty splendor of this potentate's magnificence is pictured the decad- . ence of civilization?the period when man lived for pleasure. It is the pev<d whose unrestrained orgies were l taible even in the reign of an Aufruscus Caes:;:\ In striking contrast is Dorothy Phillips in the role of a despised and tor'lived slave steadfastly refusing to forswear the tenets of. Christianity. Down through the ages, as depicted in "Man-Woman-Marriage," the talented Miss Phillips indelibly impresses the spectator with the influence for good woman has wielded over man. In the modern story of this magnificent film, Miss Phillips is no less impressive in her role as a woman of our times. The story is strong and convincing, and the work of the star stamps her as an artist of rare talent and ability.

A COMMON and frequent complaint 1 ^ nowadays anions s?!f-esteei}ied young men iinu women is inai mej arc not making satisfactory progress. With more or less petulance they declare that their incomes are not i sufficient to keep them in the style ; in which they want to live. Instead of being compelled to de- j pend on popular shops for their clothes, they yearn to he in position > to patronize high-priced tailors and j dressmakers, and thus in their false ; estimation keep step with the rich | hy making repeated shows of fine ! feathers. 1 The plebian atmosphere in which these hapless mortals are surrounded is most displeasing. Any real effort to improve their mental qualifications is apart from j the question, and contrary to their j inmost wishes. rnl'A""'. ,,f liivitv flovAi-pflR ! llll'lif i il I" '--I i*Ti-> *>1 l.l.Wl.l, of empty pleasures arid devout dis-: ciples* at the shrine of prodigality, these disgruntled young men and women openly blame The world for their imagined plight, often condemning their employers for holding them down, when as a matter of fact their employers have nothing whatever to j do with it. The man or woman who is really j desirous of rising to the surface I where he or she can swim with head j above water must pull a hard, con- j linuous stroke, quite regardless of j what others are doing. It is the only way to keep at the top and keep moving ahead. Drifting is perilous to everybody who indulges in it, certain in the end to lead ro disaster by wrecking the fondest hopes and highest aspirations. In spite of our vaunted pride of progress, drifting is becoming a national habit, particularly among the puny-minded who bend their knee to the god of gold rather than to the god of wisdom. Every good thing in life is measured by such persons with the tar? bearing the dollar mark and its decimals, even morality, friendship and love. Yet alas! these handlers of this iniquitous tape line perversely lament their position in life and condemn the irresponsible for faults and failures that are their own. To make yourself worthy in any. calling it is necessary to prove your worthiness. v And this cannot he done except by honest endeavor, long hours of. hard work and a manifest willingness always to put personal Industry above personal Indulgence. (? 1922, bv McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) o j Uncommon Sense J !>HN BLAKE || l 'U BE A <^QOO LOSER TF WE all liked to lose, this would *- be a shiftless and an ambitionless life. It is natural to want to win in any competition, business or athletic. Any self-respect'ng man would like to feel that he car; outstrip the other fellow in any race he enters. He feels chagrined when he loses. " " * * * * K ~ Hut if lie amounts to anyming n? uucs not show it. To whine, to lose your temper, to invent excuses, to show jealousy If you lose, is poor sportsmanship and poor judgment. You may feel badly because you have losr. and you ought to, but remember that you, and no one else, are responsible. For if the competition was one in which you hail no chance of winning you shouldn't have entered it. If you did have a chance, it was your iauit uuti ,vuu uiu uvt nninv.s, it. Be a good loser, therefore, and generous to your opponent. But don't lose too often. Don't he so little concerned about losing that you never try to win. Don't feel that it makes no diflference 'how the race goes. When it is over have a quiet lirtle conversation with yourself, and give general instructions not to let the same thing happen again. There is such a thing as being so good a loser that you like to lose. And there are no competitions run oft in this world whieli you can afford to enter merely for the pleasure of letting some other man win. You are perfectly justified in feel- j ing bad when you have lost. You are I justified in taking yourself into a [ comer for a lecture on the folly of ! losing. The continual loser will in the I end have to part with his self-respect I and his courage, : ml become a mere j cumberer of the < arfh. Try to win as hard as you can. If you lose next time _ make np your; mind that you will win the next. Determine that you win win oftener than you lose and that you will win as nearly 1<>0 per cent as possible. Then when you do lose, vou can ? * bear it with a better grace, for you will know that such a thing is not going to happen very frequently.
