lature, he made friends with
members of the opposition party
who were in the majority and
at the same time upheld the
principles of the party he was
there to represent. By skillful
diplomacy he was able to effect
combinations that gave his
measures support and at the
same time he retained the re-
spect and friendship of members
of both parties.
The News was so well pleased
with his work in the legislature
that upon his return, we sug-
gested that he be elected to the
upper house at the next general
election.

Mr.. Morey's caller vigorously agreed
with him, wondering at the same time
why il was that those who should
know enough to Keep under cover are
the ones who always insist on being
seen and heard, and those who have
nothing to fear from the light of day
are as retiring as the traditional bear

Mr.. Morey said 'be natural" just as

natural on the stage and off. He and

evening. The picture will mark the
famous actresses first appearance on
the screen, as well as Herbert

"No drama is greater than ITS
story" is Mr.. Brenon's idea, as he has
eliminated all spectacles which are

scenario is based upon Marion Craig

the background of war, but not with
the fighting front.
