30 and No. 31, will be shown as added attractions. "Why Change Your Wife?" is Cecil B. DeMille's latest Paramount-Artcraft production. The story is by William DeMille.

It is described as a striking drama of married life lavishly presented. Gloria Swanson and Thomas Meighan are the featured players. The plot centers around Robert and Beth Gordon, married 10 years but now beginning to drift apart. Beth is a charming girl. She has become a too wifely wife and bores her husband with her excessive solicitude for his comfort.

Literal-minded Beth imagines them in love. A divorce follows and Robert marries Sally. Too late Beth discovers why she lost her husband and blossoming like a rose, de-velopes into society's gayest figure. Sally, on the other hand, is transformed by marriage into a worse household drudge than Beth ever was.

Monday, all the glamor of the frontier west is portrayed in the old-time dance hall scenes of "The Beast," a William Fox production, in which George Walsh has made a t.x-mendous hit. This dance hall is a bano fide reproduction of the rough place of amusement that was and 'in places still is the one center of enjoyment for isolated cowmen and miners. The curtained booth into which a city girl is entrapped by a thieving Mexican and finally kidnaped by the cowboy turned caveman, still is to be seen in some out-of-the-way places of the west and southwest. "The Beast" is a powerful picturization of the redeeming force of love.

fa! si Fit in "Bare Knuckle Gallagher" ters, Strand, Star and Crescent, perfected several weeks ago, has enabled all three to continue to give to Ithaca the very best in screen and vaudeville attractions. The same management rules in each house as formerly, and the same high class bills are presented. Manager Dillon of the Strand said today that while Ithaca is the greatest little "show" town in the United States, there is not patronage enough to support two first class vaudeville houses and the consolidation enables the management to offer the very best in that line available. Manager Dillon believes the stage is the thing and intends to follow that principle by giving more rather than less and no expense will be ppared to maintain the high standard of the Strand. At the Crescent the service will be even greater than before.
