Youna Woman Who Was Almost Des
titute, Learned True Meaning OF
the WeIl-known Phrase.

Once l knew a girl who was the
spoiled. and only, daughter of a rich
family, Margaret f. Sangster writes In
the Christian Herald. She had always
been in the position of fairy princess
with a wishing ring. Anything that
she desired was brought to her as If
some magic genie waited for COM
mands.
And then her father failed in bust
ness and died. And her mother,
broken in health and spirits, soon fol-
lowed him. And the girl was left alone.
She had always had a number Of
friends-firm friends who accepted her
dinner invitations and her concert tick
cts. But when she lost her money and
was left alone, the girl found that her
friends were all marvelously busy
that they were too busy to see much
of her, to give her much advice and
help. With little money left from
the wreck of things she took q secre-
tarial course In a business college. She
had to hurry. for there wasn't much
money, so she finished the course In
half the prescribed time. Now she
has very responsible position and
very interesting salary.
Talking to me not long ago, she
laughed in a not very humorous way
and said:
"YOu know, never knew the mean
ing of the term fair weather friends
until my great trouble; and then, when
l needed friends so very badly-when
life was so horrid and unfortunate and

Al the Strand.

A real old fashioned one-ring circus,
one OF the kind that were popular in
the days of our grandfathers. is the
big feature Of 1.-The Biggest Show on
Earth" pretty love story starring
Enid Bennett now on at the Strand.
The story has we'll sustained plot,
which Is carried out to a dramatic and
logical conclusion.
The story follows the experiences Of
Roxie Kemp. who performs daily in a
cage of lions in her fathers circus. Sent
to a girls boarding school, she meets
a young man belonging to an aristo-
cratic family whom she learns to love.
She one day saves the circus from the
hands of rioters when she takes the
place Of a woman lion tanner and does
the act at the risk of her life. She is
recognized by the mother Of her sweet
heart, who scorns her until this wom>
ans husband admits that he himself is
part owner of the circus, and insists
that his wife's scorn is unjustified.
Thru his support the circus girl and
her fiance ultimately find happiness.
Enid Bennett as Roxie Kemp is de-
lightful and portrays the character
with artistic taste. She is splendidly
supported by Melbourne Mcdowell.
