Mr.. Osmun promptly stated they were

of the time splash around in the n go
in my bare feet. So it really was no
work at all to take the picture
mostly play. Of course there is very
serious, dramatic side to the story
which is worked up wonderfully well.
but above all, it is out of the common
run and I am sure everyone will like
it."

BIG BOOM IN JEWELRY
SALES IN LONDON

London, Jan. 1S.-There is a
boom in this country just now in
the cheaper kinds of jewelry, which
is attributed to the increased earn
ings of those engaged on munitions
of war. The demand for wrist
watches has been especially heavy.
This has led to a practically new
line of business with Switzerland
which sent Great Britain last month
34,OS5 gold watches and 34,390 COLA
watch cases, and since the first of
1916 total of 1897 watches and
390,910 cases to be made up here.
The latest government order has
killed this trade, as it prohibits the
Importation of gold, but no mention
is made in the order of silver
watches. The trade is trying to Sc
cure modification of the order.

A story with an unexpected ending.
The action of the play, with Ethel
Clayton and Carlyle Blackwell as the
stars, runs so smoothly and rapidly
that the fifth reel will be over before
you realize you are looking at the
third. There is not dull or draggy
moment from the start to the finish.
The two stars make one of the most
pleasing and talented combinations
imaginable. Both have been appear
ing in features with other stars late
ly and this is the first time in months
that they have appeared together.
Miss Clayton has never been given a
part which called for so great a di-

signed him with forceful skill.
