One of the fair set has just made perfect score, five clean misses, and the coach proceeded to hold an inqust for the purpose of discovering the cause of this consistent per formance. Like most beginners, she blamed it all on the rifle, and refus- ed to believe her holding was at fault. The coach thought otherwise and continued his questions.
 Finally the lady became irritated at not being permitted to continue firing q tell you the rifle is no good, so you can just get me an other. Every time l fired I saw the bull's-eye through that foolish little peep-hole you make me use. It's not my fault if the bullets wander all over the mountain"
 Pm not so sure about that" the coach persisted. ''are you positive you lined up the front sight correct ly?"
 For moment the fair one was puzzled. then with a gesture of re- lief she settled the matter for all time. ''lf you mean that lump on the front end of the barrel that is always in the way, l certainly did not, and if there is any way to re- move the thing, I want you to take it off immediately"

 Having grabbed the space he wanted and having notified the manager that his story will certain ly ruin the hotel. Joyous decides to return the diamonds immediate ly.

English Fox Hunt Is Shown in Gods Io1u ond Mans

Law and Mans.
 An English fox hunt is shown in Gods Law and Mans" the Metro Columbia five-part feature screen version of Paul Trent's novel, "A Wife by Purchase" which was shown at the Coliseum last night with dainty Viola Dana as the star This part of the picture was taken in a great hunting park belonging to a club of wealthy New Workers. A number of society men and women mounted their hunters and followed the hounds, joining the players en- gagged in making the picture, and most excellent close views of mag nificent leaps over high fences were obtained.
 The fox hunt has an important bearing on the plot of the story In the chase Lord Charles Drum mond falls from his horse with such violence as to cause his death. Floyd Buckley the actor playing this part, is an athlete of great ability. So realistic was his fall that Director John H. Collins at first feared he was mortally injured.
 Contrasted with the English scenes in Gods Law and Mans" are scenes in an East Indian village, the birthplace of Ameia (Ameia Dana).

Big Dickens Novel Shown Tonight in Pictures at Dream.

Louise Huff and Jack Pickford, who created such tremendous sue cess in the Famous Players adapta- tion of Booth Tarkington's celebrat- ed novel, Seventeen" have been starred in an adaptation of Charles Dickens wonderful work, Great Expectations" which will be shown tonight at the Dream.
 Though, from chronological standpoint, it is quite a back ward stop from Tarkington to Dick ems, the success which these two youthful stars have had in incar- iating the twentieth century au- thors characters on the screen jus tifies a prediction that they will be equally successful in interpreting the personalities which the genius of Dickens has made so real. Rob- ert G. Vignola, who directed "Sev- enteen,' presided over the adapta- tion of Great Expectations"
 The story of Great Expectations" details the thrilling adventures of Pip" young orphan who is brought up in the home of his
 brother-in-law, a blacksmith He encounters an escaped criminal,
 Provis, while trying to elude his sisters wrath, and is forced to ob- tain food and file to assist the criminal in furthering his escape. Provis is captured and the boy is ii terror until the convict shields him with a lie.
 Because he is a refined looking little chap, he is chosen by MT. Jaggers, a lawyer, to become the companion of little Estella, the adopted daughter of Miss Havi- sham There is much mystery and not a little that is terrifying about this Miss Havisham who sits alone | in a dark room clad in an old we'd ding dress.
 Pip's adventures at the hands of
 Miss Havisham, his love affair with the delightful Estella, the mys-
 terious legacy which makes him | independent, and the final shock ing discovery of the source of his
 wealth, are all factors in this ab- sorbine story, set in the romantic atmosphere of which Dickens drew
 such sweeping pen pictures.
