TT may have been fine for the women of the country to take the positions held by the men while they served in the great war and helped make the world safe to live in, but it is all wrong for. them to keep these positions when their heroes come back home. So firmly did they believe in those principles that they made a photoplay based on that theme, which has been released by Famous I'layers-Laaky Corporation Cor-poration as one of their special Paramount Para-mount productions, under tbe title, "Oh, You Women," which will be shown at the Paramount-Empress today and tomorrow. tomor-row.
