su rivalidad por obtener las meiorcs

una dulce queia y un suave suspiro,

La propiedad dc este euadro ha sido

que aquel es una copia y bastante def

mas terco y al mas irreflexivo. Como
copia, ell retrato del Prado es muy in.
ferior al del Louvre y carece de los

NEW YORK TO SPEND
MILLIONS IN BUILDING
AMUSEMENT HOUSES
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, July 24.-Millions are
being spent for new playhouses to in
sure New Workers ample amusement
this winter, although flat builders can
not get loans for housing the masses
of the metropolitan district.
This was revealed today when a
survey was made of the rush of
theater constructions, which diclosed
that $25 100000 worth of new amuse-
ment houses were under way.
Many of the new playhouses are
wiping out old flats and dwellings ur-
gently needed for homes, social well
fare investigators declare, and as a
result the housing shortage is becom-
ing more acute.
The theater builders assert that the
immense sums pouring into places of
amusement are justified as the new
construction guarantees them pro-
titable return on the investment.
Although there are 500 running
theaters in the greater city and $40
in the entire metropolitan district,
eight new theaters costing more than
S12,000,000 are planned in Long Acre
Times Square district, three in Green
wlch Village -four large houses and
a score of smaller theaters in the
Bronx, three in Washington Heights
and five in Brooklyn.
There are now lis theaters operat-
ing in Brooklyn.

exploits of romantic heroes leave
you cold? Is it nothing to you when

tiful woman from swindler, and
batters down ten thousand obstacles
to win for himself a bride?
Of course not! You're human, like
the rest of us. And romance is the
one thing that lifts us from the level
of every day life into the radiant
world of imagination.
That's why we're taking all this
trouble to tell you that our attraction

by Anthony Hope, creator of "The
Prisoner of Zenda" and other roman
tic stories. Unlike most of his novels
which are laid in the past, this one
is laid in the present day, and serves
to prove that the days of chivalry and
romance are not dead.
