sending them out to beg. In the low
parts OF Paris disreputable outcasts rent
stolen children to beggars at a daily
rate, viii read one Of the sub-titleS IN
TINS picture. Mr. BrenOn went into
these same low parts of the French
metropolis for some Of his scenes, and
the types are chosen with excellent iudg-
ment- The beggars are not actors. but
just what they seem. There Is one ex-
ceptiOn, of course; that is the child who
proves to be one of the leading char
acters in this remarkably pretty story
The story IS simple. but. nevertheless
It holds. It IS a husband and wife WIN
