BABY FALLS OUT OF
SECOND STORY WINDOW
Young Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Bur
ton Briggs Has Narrow-Escapc
From Death.

Uninjurcd by fall from a second
story window to the ground, yesterday,
the fourtcen-months-old boy OF Mr., and
Mrs. Burton Briggs, who have an apart
ment in the Waverly, mt Twelfth and
Market streets, is playing around today
rs if parachute work was an everyday
affair.
While his mother was dressing him on
the bed, which was next to the window,
the baby in play rolled over and against
the screen, which gave way and both
fell to the ground. Expecting moth
ing less than broken legs or arms, the
franctic mother raced down the stairway
and picking the child up, hurried to the
Delaware Hospital, where the doctors,
after a careful examination, could find
nothing apparent in the way of injury.
The boy is very chubby, and it was the
opinion of the physicaian. that the flesh
served as a cushion, preventing injury TO
the bones, and the particular way. in
which he was fortunate enough TO land.
So far, no indications of internal injuries
have been noticed.

At The Strand Theatre.

''Piccadilly JIM owen Moore's
first Selznick picture, which comes to
the Strand theatre Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, is a sparkling comedy,
a perturbation Of Pelham Grenville
Warehouses; story which. in its orig
inal form, appeared serially in Tho
Saturday Evening Post and won ma
tion-wide popularity. -,
As a photoplay the satire is a
TO be even funnier than when it was
shifting the sides of several million
readers q week. Owen Moore lends
to the title role of remarkable sense
Of comedy values which serves to
draw from each scene every single
Bit Of humor that the author wrote
into it,, and sometimes just a wee bit
more
The stars portrayal of the light
hearted, carc-frCe. ir~repressible
youpgstor who rollicks into trouble
and rollicks out again is one of the
finest bits of acting that the screen
has ever known.
Zena Kecfe plays opposite Mr..
Moore and her work is remarkable
II Is by just such sterjinG work as
his that she won the honor that IS
to be hers in 1920, when she is to be
starred in IA series of Selznick pic
lures.
The rest OF tue cast is proportion
ately adequate, the artistic interiors
and beautiful exteriors charm the
