Ethel Clayton
Ethel Clayton makes of the girl
heroine Of "a Lady in Love- a wholly
appealing person, and the picture has
attractive qualities. There is nothing
startling about the story-just the old
tale of the clash of true and false love,
but with some. skilful new twists and
developed upon the screen with a
rare sympathy that makes it mighty
appealing entertainment.
Ethel Clayton's pictures are general
ly about folks you know. They have
a homely human note, rare in the
screen. "a Lady in Love" is no excep-
ton. The heroine is a convent girl
in love with love and innocently
marrying a flashy yor-n who later
turns out to be sad with q wife al

MADE LONG TOUR THROUGH
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

William Walsh, superintendent of
the Kahului Railroad, who returned
last Saturday by the Manoa after a
vacation spent on the mainland, re-
ports a highly delightful time touring
California by automobile with his
family. They had their car with them
and covered more than 5000 miles in
it, even going a short distance into
Mexico.
Mr.. Walsh states that the paved
roads of California are in splendid
condition, but that the roads into
Yosemite were atrocious. This is due
to the fact that the traffic has been
SO heavy hat it has cut the roads into
innumerable chuck-holes, while the
dust is often a foot or more deep. Re
port of like conditions in the Tahoe
region prevented their carrying out
their plans to visit this resort as well.
Mrs. Walsh who remains on the
Coast on account of her daughters
health, will probably be away for sew
eral months longer. She has taken 4
