1t is quite certain that a girl less
clever than Miss Gish might have
found some difficulty in creating the
Illusion of a fifteen year old child of

she is, one of the most pathetic and
moving figures that has ever wrung
the sympathies of one heart through
the medium of the camera.
When she is first seen on the screen
you can believe at ono hat for just
over fifteen years this bruised little
body had crept about Poplar and

her drunken father; never knowing a

Ulysses s. Grant Briggs, a farmer
youth, is reared by a grandfather
whose life standards are based on the
memory of u. 8. Grant. When war
breaks out Ulysses Is greatly disap-
pointed to learn at the camp thai his
journey overseas will be delayed.
Ulysses is kidded by his more sophis-
ticated comrades and Is prevailed up
on to participate in a home talent
night of camp theatricals. He con-
fesses he once took a correspondence
course in parlor magic and attempts
to put on a mystery act which brings
about humiliation because everything
works wrong. Here he meets Betty
Martin a pretty village girl who
dances. Harry Weller, courts the fav-
or of Betty with evil intentions. One
vening while out riding he pretends
that his machine breaks down and in
duces Betty to enter a roadhouse

locks the door.
When the door Is burst open Ulyss-
es refuses any explanation and Is or

mains silent and Betty rushes in and

and it was decided 10 remove him 20

The injuries he received when the car

suspicion that the joy riders, seven in
number, including three girls, became
involved in a scrap along the road and
Callahan was hit on the head with
