phans are always Interesting and ap-

as Bessie Love and as clever as the

daughter Of Parson Deadly, who is
superintendent of bankrupt or

society woman, catches her handsome
son, Kenneth Harlan, flirting with
the kitchen vampire She discharges
that dimpled maid and sends to the

She deeeives Mrs Grey, but not the

Humor and human interest fill the
play. One Of the most delightful sit
uations occurs when a band of tiny
orphans comes trooping to the Grey
home one night on a rescuing expedi-
ton for their "little mother" Bessie.
But they are so tired upon reaching
their destination that, instead Of res
cuing her, she is forced to rescue them
and tuck them in bed. Later they
take an important part in bringing
about the climax of the play.

enough good picture in which Mar
guerite Clark has a role that will ap-
peal to all. There is large measure
of real drama, Of incidents that ap-
peal straight to the heart. Miss
Clark as the child of the professional
gambler is at her best. She throws
into the part all Of her wonderful
charm of expression. Frank Losee is
at the head of the supporting cast,
appearing as the gambler who turns
over to strangers the care of his lit
tie daughter, whose mother had pass
ed out of the world as she entered it.
