nous as Sapho. this girl was Fanny
Legrand. the daughter Of a disrepu-
table coachman,f and typical flower
girl In the streets Of Paris, picking up
odd bits OF change in the various cafes
and restaurants while her father
|squandered most of her earnings al
well as hissown, on drink Uneduca-
ted, with no refinement Of taste and
with only a beautifully moulded face
to differentiate her from the other
flower girls, and only scenes Of strife
and turmoil to look back upon when
entering the miserable place that was
home to her, it Is small wonder that
she seized the first opportunity to live
more luxuriously and failed to weigh
the cost Of her action.
I'VE cannot expect girl who was
brought up In such an environment as
that to develop any great refinement
OF taste and as q matter OF fact, Sapho
does not. ItNis only that she Graves
luxury to q greater and greater de-
gree and 1t II this love Of the beauti-
full and craving for amusement that
| lead her farther and farther afield.
Never having been taught right and
wrong, she fails to realize that there
| il OF necessity q barrier between her
and the height OF her ambitions.
What we have tried to do IN this
production. Is to catch the spirit OF
the real Sapho-of whom there are
| thousands in real life-and put it on
the screen. There are many discreu-
ancies between this story and the orr
ginal, but this was necessary in order
to avoid the over-realistic effect Of
the French original and. also to avoid

ending. That Is why the .saphn OF
the screen viii be different one from
the book or play, while at the same
time. we hope we have caught the
spirit Of this celebrated French GIRL

morrow.

Fine Program for Races.

For the convenience of it's patrons in
the state, in other states and in On.
tario, the Detroit Driving Club has
arranged we'll balanced program for
the annual Blue Ribbon grand circuit
meeting which will be held on the state
fair track, July % to %. Realizing that
some cannot attend on particular day
the club has 80 divided it's features that
there will be at least one stake event
every afternoon.
On the opening day, Monday, July
90, the Pontchartrain stake for 2:l4
trotters is a headliner. The Board Of
Commerce stake of IS. 900 for 2:O8 psc-
ers will be raced on Tuesday. The
Merchants g. Manufacturers stake Of
SO, 900 for 2:Os trotters and the Wayne
sweepstakes for three year-old trotters
are underlined for Wednesday. The
free for all pace is set for Thursday and
the 300 or better trot for Friday.
In addition there will be two late
closing purse events on each afternoon
and all events but the two fastest
classes will be raced on the three in FIVE
heat plan.
Entries In the stakes. this year not
only were exceptional both in numbers
and quality but fewer horses have been
withdrawn than ever In the past. so
there is every prospect Of large fields in
the main events. Reports from the
tracks at which the grand circuit horses
are training are that the stake horses
are showing splendid form. which Is
taken to mean that there will be an
abundance of contests.
Hrhere will be bumper entry from
the half mile tracks In the class races.
Never have horses raced better on the
small ovals and their clash with the big
line regulars promises to be among the
notable happenings at this summers
Blue Ribbon meeting.
