STORY OF WARTIME ESPIONAGE
"
TO-DAY'S RADIO
TO-DAY AT QUEEN'S
Beautiful Norma Talmadge is the featured player in "The Woman, Disputed," a thrilling and engross Ing picture which is being shown from to-day to Saturday at the Queen's Theatre. The film version of the sensational stage play of the same title keeps closely to the orl- ginal story and is unfolded in an extremely clever manner.
The story revolves around a tri- angle of two men and a girl. The men are fast friends-the girl likes them both until jealousy and hatred drive the trio Into a strange denouement and a happy ending.
The development of the absorbing. plot: against a background of war- ravaged towns, espionage, and ad- vanture, gives the girl the choice of saving an entire army corps from destruction sacrificing OF
her honour in the name of patriotism.
During each performance, the Orloff Brothers will appear with a complete change of programma in further selections on the balalaika and stest guitar.

Angry Denials
"Women now" (sald Miss Pank- hurst) "control the political post- tion of the country, and it is our duty to take stock of the political situation. There is something en- tirely wrong about the way our political affairs are managed, and we are responsible." One gathered that study of the Prophets would make everything clear, but the lecturer at

"Since democracy had got more power the world has deteriorated,” followed by "and sinc: women have. got more power they have not im- proved,” were statements that call- ad forth angry denials from the audience.

A atatement that "we are all equally responsible for the evils of the world, and the women more than the men," was met by cries of "No, no."
Concluding, the speaker atated: "We are to-day the dominant political force in this country, and," being so responsible, it behoves us to fuce our responsibilities and not to, be boastful of what we can do.”
