NINE LONG RUNS MADE
ON FOOTBALL GROUNDS.

Any football player who can
run 103 yards for a touchdown
is man who is not found once
in a generation when you figure
that the playing field is only
100 yards in length. This thing
happened, however, a few days
ago when Medsker, q half-back
on Chase college, caught the
kickoff back Of his own goal
line in a game against Mount
Union and ran all the way to
the other goal posts. 1t is said
that only nine runs in the his
tory of modern football have
ever exceeded this.

 Idols Of Clay at the Strand is no ex> ception to this rule. The earlier scenes Of the picture. taken down on the South Sea Isles, have all of the vordant ap- peal of the tropics. Later mhen the ac- ton IS shifted to London splendor ow setting is brought out in some interiors built to produce the affect of luxury and wealth into which the thread of the story has wound.
 This latest Strand offering is love story from start to finish While the in- terest is wide and varied and the char acters are shifted and have numerous ex- periences, the main thread, that of the love affair of the central characters, Is never allowed out of mindI It is sim ply very consistent and close woven love narrative, and this is the best thing about 1t. Mae Murray is ineffably sweet as the innocent girl of the South Sea Isle. Miss Murray, who has that certain quality of combining the eternaf-vv oman With never departing childhood, was never more the charming child woman that she is in this picture.
 She is well supported by her attractive leading man. David Powell The two were together a short while ago in The Right to Love-, but it would be diff cult to realize that they are the same actors here.
