NEW PICTURE AT STAR THEATRE.

One of the most delightful of the John Golden plays has been adapted to the screen in the Wil- liam Fox production of "Wages for Wives," which comes to the Star Theatre to-day.

This clever comedy drama deals with the insurrection of the wives of three men in a small communi- ty. This revolt comes about be- enuse of the uneven distribution of the family finances, and the situa- tions that follow combine to make an interesting and natural comedy, Jacqueline Logan and Creighton Hale head the all-star cast. They are supported by Claude. Gilling- water, Zasu Pitts, Earle Foxo, Seddon, Margaret Margaret

The production was an even greater succes than the previous performances, and at the conclu- sion of the evening's thrills, the members of the cast were given a great ovation. The principals were in good form, especially Mrs. Thorp and Mrs. Morris, whilst mention should also be made of the excellent work of Mr. E. E. Mimmack, Mr. G. G. Stopani Thon-
