"But it's those with big families whe Are the happiest," he said, "If the women have plenty of children they have plenty to think of all the time, and they're content. Those with small families are much the worst. If they have a lot of time on their bands, they become scolds gossips and, of course, the drink."

WORLD THEATER, Spectacle scenes, love theme, psych- ology and the atmosphere of days gone by these elements are all in A Lady of Qality the Universal super-Jewel pro duction, starring Virginia Valli and direc ted by Hobart Henley, which comes to the World Theatre tomorrow (Wednes- M C. H. Haslawood day.) This
production is on an even ambitious scale than The Flirt **.** The Finnic of Life, two former successes by the same director. The period of A Lady of Qality is 1704, and the atmosphere is that of morrie old England The settings, executed under supervision of Elmer Steely, art directed at the Universal City, are particularly in- tureating because of the interest attached to architecture, customs and manners of that period in history. It involved con siderable researched and designing.
ALFT- ton Bills and other popular players, f standard ability support Missin other imigiortant roles in the piece.
