TONIGHT AND TOMORROW
“THE RACK,” AT EMPRESS
“The Rack” did not die out with
the Dark Ages. Blanche Oordon (Al
ice Brady) discovered that, drinking
deep of the dregs of life's bitter
draught.
Her indiscretion with Jack Free
man—that night that Tom Gordon,
her husband, trapped her in a road
house with Freeman—the quarrel—
the shot that caused Freeman’s death
—all stretched her soul on “The
Rack” of modern society, till It was
bruised and torn.
Through sacrificial fires Blanche
Gordon won into her own at last,
however, and in her husband’s arms
found balm and consolation for her
cruel ordeal at the hands of man
made law.
A wonderfully vivid and startling
production of a great drama holding
a merciless mirror to modern life and
marital relations.

Men are just as vain as women.
There isn’t a man in the world who
doesn’t honestly believe he is either
handsome or clever.
A man may not realize it but when
he marries he is hiring a deteetive to
keep tab on him the rest of his life.
Some people go around hunting for
temptations to yield to.
The world is undoubtedly growing
better, but if there is an uplift meet
ing and a dog fight at the same time,
you’ll find the crowd at the dog fight.
You can get a man to make an affi
davit to a thing when you can't get
him to het a dime on it.
Whenever you pin your faith to a
man use a safety pin.
A hero is generally a fool who
rushes in where the wise man hesi

It's a lazy man’s belief that all
things come to those who wait—for
others to do it for them.
Some people are so generous as to
give away all their good advice never
saving any for themselves.
One reason why there are so many
divorces is that the average girl be
