which Little Mary appears in the
clothes of the cavalier are marked by a
fine sense of humorous portrayal that
heightens rather than diminishes the
dramatic interest. An excellent cast,
including owen Moore as King Charles

make the play one of unusual interest

MARKET CONDITIONS.

/ wish to start my second article on
the subject of writing photoplays by
asserting that it is almost as import
ant to know how to market plots as it
is to know how to write them
a writer will turn out what he thinks
is a good motion picture script. May
be it is a good story. Maybe it is a
five-reel comedy Of worth The author
sends the story to whom? Why he
mails it to feature film concern that
specializes in vampire" stuff. On the
other hand a writer may originate a
fine and dandy movie drama which
would be purchased by some particular
concern but he bundles it up and mails
it blithesomely to some motion picture
company that specializes in slap-stick
film comedy.
Know your market, for the market
ing of movie plots is lilSened to the
marketing of magazine stories. You
would not send fiction story to The

four months of 1t with a pallor and a
rose tint that suggests a hothouse
product rather than one of the great

Aided by the face cream and powder
your skin will remain unblemished
while you are in the water. But when
you stop swimming and go to loll
about the beach, you must sit in the
shade. That is the time when you are
most liable to sunburn. So much for
the complexion.

ness. Kidneys that become clogged
with poisonous excretions cause dulled
eyes and puffy places under them.
Swimming stimulates the kidneys to
strenuous action and helps carry away
noxious impurities. Constipation, the
universal foe to health and beauty and
the cause of unsightly pimples and ugly
blotches, is gradually eradicated by
the continued exercise of the muscles
of the abdomen that are most used in
swimming.
AS the list now stands, we have es-
tablished poise and dignity, clear eyes
and an unmarked skin. Without add
ing any more advantages swimming
surely carries it's own reward.

Of the city it began its operations by
dropping FIVE bombs which fell into the
city. The warships opened fire on it
but after IA shots, were obliged to cease
for fear of wounding the population
which was now filling the streets. The
raiders missed the next target but tore
a woman to pieces and wounded small
boy. Another bomb set fire to ware
houses filled with fats. oils, benzine and
sugar. The buildings fared up IKE

excited. A company Of French gend-
armes and a picket of Zouaves hurried
up and restored a semblance OF order.
They brought a volunteer fire brigade
with hand pumps through the mob.
Meanwhile the Zeppelin continued to
rain down its missiles of destruction, one
of which demolished the mosque of fus-

crashed through the roof of house and
instantly killed five persons. The flames
from the blazing warehouses lit up the
whole harbor with a red glow. against
which stood out the white sails of the
coasting ships fleeing under all canvas.
Fast aeroplanes rose in pursuit of the
Zeppelin, while British, French, Italian
and Russian sailors operated fireboat
at wharf and poured torrents of water
on the fire. Generals Sarrail, Mahon and
Moschopoulos, with the project and the

practically nothing could be saved in the

spreading to surrounding buildings. The
bombs thrown from the Zeppelin weighed
about 100 pounds and were dropped from
a height estimated at .oe0 feet.
