FOX This is the sort of picture which makes stilling; censorship inevitable. It we arc to have slime of this sort dragged through mn projectors we shall soon have our photo plays in the hands of a Russian secret police system — and with no one but ourselves to blame. William Fox i handing the complacent Evelyn Nfesbit scenarios the like of which Theda Bara in her boldest days never attempted, and at a time when practically every manufacturer in the country is demonstrating, by clean and wholesome storie*-. that the gags, handcuffs and straight-jackets of the archaic censorship system are rankly unnecessary injustice. This filthy story of adultery and misgeneration won't bear syrop sising here. It is simply plain infectious dirt, frosted over with mock morality at its finish. Personally, I advocate perhaps more freedom in stories of genuine human life than many other people are willing to accord — but •'Woman! Woman!" is altogether too much for my stomach. It is not life, or if it is, it is a cross-section of exist race that should be reserved for the police courts and works on sexual psychology. At this time it is doubly inexcusable, for it is not only an overt sneer at the average de cency of the American people, but is indirectly a brazen, clangorous appeal for a merciless okhrana in the theatre. THE BELLE OF NEW YORK— Select As long as there is melody in "Follow on !" we are not liable to forget that tuneful operetta of excellent story, produced, now — how many years ago? Well, in the screen version, directed by Julius Steger, there are no tunes to lift us on their lilt, but Eugene Walter has come to the rescue with some strong melodrama of primitive sort, and some virile subtitles. Marion Davies, cer tainly as beautiful as Edna May, though her appeal is of an entirely different sort, plays the principal role. IN BRIEF: "Go West, Young Man" (Goldwyn) — An old story polished up and given a new uniform. Tom Moore is featured, and the piece is breezy and entertaining. "Sis Hopkins" (Goldwyn) — Mabel Nor mand's tragedy of misfit scenarios still pur sues her. The ideal "Sis" among all screen players, but what a dreadfully mediocre story has been woven about Rose Melville's lovable old characters ! Still, you may laugh at Mabel herself. "The Woman on the Index" (Goldwyn) — Pauline Frederick's first photoplay under these auspices is a heavy but very well done melodrama of much action, some suspense, and a perhaps too-rapid clearing-up at the finale. Willard Mack reappears on the screen, to play the villain. The Dollars We Throw Away Many foods have slight food value as compared with Quaker Oats. And the reason lies largelj in the refuse and the water. For instance, here are the was I on some common foods: Refuse an d Water REFUSE WATER Quaker Oats . None 7% Beef . 20% 54% Mackerel . 45% 40% Potatoes 20% 62% Squash . 50% 44% Beets . 20% 70% Canned Peas . None 85% Canned Tomat oes None 94% Note that the waste in Quaker Oats is not one-tenth the waste in any oi these other foods. Another Waste Another waste lies in buying food without reference to energy value. That is, to calories. The average person needs 3,000 calories per day. In some foods they cost ten times what they cost in others. A day's energy need in Quaker Oats costs only 15c. In meat and fish foods the average cost is at least $1.50. In lobster, 3,000 calories would cost $18. Yet the supreme food is oats. It is almost a complete food — nearly the ideal food. Both in flavor and nutrition there is nothing to match oats. And this is what they cost per 1.000 calories, compared with other necessary foods at this writing : Cost Per 1000 Calories Quaker Oats ... 5c Veal Cutlets . 57c Round Steak . . 41c Average Fish . 60c Hubbard Squash . . 75c That means that ten people can breakfast on Quaker Oats at the cost of one meat breakfast. It means that each 30-cent package used to displace meat saves about $3. And it means vastly more in its better nutrition.
