Lila Lee is in the cast. A THIRD Ibanez story is to reach the screen, "Enemies of Women." It is being filmed abroad by Cosmopoli- tan.

This sort of thing is highly signifi- :ant for the future of the non-theatrical ilm, however displeasing it will unques- ionably be to the theatrical interests. .Vhen the "non-flam" comes—and it is nerely a question of time—one of the upreme difficulties in the way of motion >ictures for schools, churches, clubs and :ommunity centers will be permanently mt of the way.
