while a great many women drive their

most of their own "chaufeuring." The
sporting instinct in this country is dis

American women are keenly interested
IN sports as are those of no other coun-

versatility of the automobile as a conve-

popularity in Paramount theatres. Miss
Ridgely's last appearance and most
notable one was in the title role of the
Lasky perturbation of the famous stage
success The Chorus Lady. Mr.. Reid
appeared in this production, but his
chiet claim of popularity has been by
reason of his remarkable performance
as Don Jose in support of Geraldine
Farrar in the Lasky production of
Carmen"
In The Golden Chance" these two
exceptional artists will be seen to their
best advantage. Miss Ridgely as a poor
seamstress suddenly confronted with
an opportunity to enjoy for a brief per-,
iod the luXuries of life and to forget
her own poverty grasps at the chance:
Cinderella like she meets financial
prince, Wallace Reid, who falls in love
With her. Circumstances compel the
seamstress to hide her real identity
and refuse her golden chance. Suisse,
quently, however, these complications
are overcome after a series of exciting

fence is given to believe that all ends

ATLANTA LAWYERS SAY INNS
WILL NOT Be CONVIC TED

ATLANTA, Ga, April 8.-Victor E.
lines will not be convicted of larceny
after trust in connection with the mys
FERROUS disappearance of the helms
sisters, in the opinion of Atlanta law
yers who are familiar with the ms and
outs of the famous case. They reason
as follows:
To make out case of larceny after
trust, it is necessary to prove that A
gives money to B to be used for the
benefit of A; that B diverts the money
to some other use; that A makes de-
mand for the return of the money and
B fails to produce.
These three points are essential to
a complete case of larceny after trust,
the lawyers say, and in their opinion
tie state will be able to prove only the
first point. In other words, Solicitor
Dorsey, of Fulton Superior court, will
be able to prove that Mrs. Eloise helms
Dennis gave money to Victor Innes to
be invested" by Innes for Mrs. Den
mis- benefit, but he will not be able to
prove that Mrs. Dennis made a de-
mand upon him which be failed to
meet.
T At least, such is the opinion, as
above stated, of lawyers familiar with
the case, The fact that Mrs, Dennis
has been missing nearly two years and
is not dead might as well be dead, So
far as testifying is concerned, i'm
poses a handicap on Solicitor Dorsey
in his efforts to convict Innes Of lar
ceny after trust
