large audience to discover what the

the picture takes up desk telephone
something which no interior scene
is without nowadays. Whereupon the
fat man shispers a trifle louder than
before.

Marvellous perspicacity OF the fat
man! The young man does telephone
his sweetheart, who is seen answering
and who, of course is none other than
the young woman whose portrait APP

a mental image.
The fat man scores another put out

he scores forty putouts without a bob

stop in either big league could equal.
He goes home shaking hands with
himself as a clever guy. Quick think

"BOOTLES' BABY" and
THE MAN ON THE CASE

The two subjects presented in this
unusual manner are "Bootles' Baby,
the world-renowned story by John
Strange Winter, and "The Man on the
Case" by Grace Livingston Furniss,
one of the greatest comedies from the
pen Of this noted dramatist. The two
stories include every element OF
dramamatic composition, ranging from
broad comedy to thrilling drama.
"Bootles Baby" is the story of desert
ed child, who, totally unconscious OF
the great good she is performing, re-
stores to her mother the happiness that
had departed from her. Portrayed by
Mimi Yvonne, the famous child actress
"Bootles' Baby" will long live in the
memory as one of the most tender and
sympathetic child-stories ever related
on the screen. The story is one that
will delight children and grown-ups
alike, and the lovable baby, who all
unconsciously works out the great
scheme of destiny, steals into the heart
of the spectator and tugs at the heart
strings with her baby hands until the
drama seems to be part of the very
like of every one in the audience.
''The Man on the Case" by way of
diverting contrast, is farcial story of
a young millionaire who wants to
marry a girl who will love him for him
self, and not his money, and senti-
mental, romantic girl who determines
to marry only for love, regardless of
the financial standing of the man who
wins her affection. How the millionaire
and the girl meet, under strange and
amusing circumstances, and fall madly
in love with each other, is humorously
unfolded on the screen. The millionaire
wins the girl in the character OF de-
