of her very best roles The part of
Betsy fits her like the proverbial

The story of Betsy's love for Joseph
Ashburn is told in a straightforward,
true-to-life manner that is particular

Mormon Maid" which vii! be seen at
the Washington theatre on Friday af-
ternoon and Saturday, had his foot
severely crushed and was confined to
his home for three weeks during the
staging of this picture of early Utah
life
Mr.. Bosworth is an experienced
horseman, but during the rush and
excitement of scene another rider
ran into him and the force of the i'm

, crushing the stars foot beneath. In
spite Of the painful injury, Mr.. Bos.
worth finished the scene, but imme-
diately upon its conclusion was taken
home and the remainder OF the pic.
ture was held up pending his recov.
cry. Miss Murray also gives an ex-
hibition Of fancy riding in this pic
ture. In wild dash over the prairies
toward the camera, she manages to
hang on, but right in front of the
whirring machine her horse reared
and Miss Murray, terror-stricken,
chung to the saddle until the scene
was finished, then slipped to the
ground.

Browns has filed suits on accounts in
Justice Moore's court against Bonnie
Kauff and James L. Smith of the New

Kauff is for $500. and the Smith suit

Finally, however. after much argu-
ing, Mr.. Eltinge consented to appear,
but threw heavy dressing gown over
MS costume. He then insisted that hi
set be boxed in SO that his first day
performance would be concealed from
prying eyes.
But, after the novelty wore off 1t
was nothing to see the star walking
carelessly around the studio, pipe in
mouth and dainty skirts wrapped high
around him, calling on some of the
other Paramount stars or watching
them work.
The shock was terrific at first, but
row even the primmest ingenue has
recovered and Mr. Eltinge, Familiarity
known as "Bill," bids fair to become
one of the most popular members of
the studio.

offer of one of the brokers' at the
office where she works-and she &C
cepts his offer for the sake of her
child
Keeping her altered life secret
from the boy, she has him placed IN
