quite fair, one should also except the
/ titles, which are excellent. Perhaps
it is safest to say that "Good Refer
ences" is not a good story, for that
is about where the fault lies. The
story meanders so that when, toward
the end of the picture, you are intro
duced again to the people you. met In
the first reel, you can't remember who
they are. Or, II you are one Of those
people who "never forget face" then
at least you can't remember their
names.
But Constance is as ingratiating as
ever, and it seems as though she flirts
and cries and falls down coal holes
with even more than her usual gra-
ciousness. There is young woman
who has q charm all her own! And
she need never fear for her laurels

Knight have been q corking picture if
these scenes had been tied together
with Irvine instead of silk foss. But
where did the heroine get her clothes :?
And are they what the landlaay refers
to in the first reel as "duds"? That
bathing suit alone was worth the price
of admission. Also where did the tip
ping major get the clothes he loaned
the heroine? And what business had
he interfering, anyways when Miss Tall

in her ocean toys?

mark in his home run total for the sea-
son at Madison Square Garden last
night, but the obliging Bambino poled
