ING GLORIA"
Grant an actress of the Utopia thea
ter, 10 anxious to possess a diamond
necklace for sale In a Bond street shop.
Jack James, former admirer of the
girl, offers to buy it for her and en-
lists the services Of bis friend, Archie
Toddleby. Jack is married, and Archie
is on the eve Of taking to wife friend
Of Jacks spouse. The women learn Of
the intended purchase, go to the shop
and confront the men. In desperation
they say that they are really buying the
necklace for an old Johnny" named
Milliken and soon find q man to I'm
personate that mythical character.
Now, 1t develops that Milliken is
really In love with the actress, and he
agrees to actually buy the necklace for
his loved one. About this time Gloria
offers her apartments to rent. and Jack
and Archie, who are looking for a
home for the latters intended wife,
stumble upon them about the time the
women in the case drop in to examine

Richie. Cyril Scott is Jack James,
and Percy L. Ames Is Archie Toddleby.
Ferdinand Gottschalk Is Milliken,
whose real name Is Zebedee Poskett,
and Adelaide Prince has the part Of
