consul at Rio de Janelro, she gives a
vigorous. sympathetic portrayal of a
real woman, moved by womanly emo
lions, who fights bravely to help her
husband, and, unwittingly, falls into
the tolls of band Of International
blackmailers.
1t is a story of mystery and adj
venture, involving, the governments
of two continents, and the woman is
the center about which it revolyes.
Her good intentions act as boom
erangs. 1t is when she is thus at
bay, torn by conflicting emotions,
the prey of fear and anguish, but
with unquenchable' devotion, that
Miss Griffith gives Of her very best
and there is no better. 1t is q grip
ping story, with a number of big
scenes acted with a tenseness and
honesty which bring the whole pro-

tic drama.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT" AT

Just a year ago photoplay lovers
saw Miss Constance Binney in her
first Realart picture, "Erstwhile ST.
san," in the role Of a weary little
Pennsylvania Dutch Cinderella, and
1t was apparent that here was a new
star with a personality and an ap-
peling beauty which needed no fluffy
negligees and elaborate settings. Her
latest Realart offering, Something
Different" which opens tonight at
the Grand theater shows the young
star in the beautiful clothes and
sumptuous settings which her earlier
pictures have withheld. but the same
youthful simplicity and straightfor-
wardness which made her so win
ming in "Erstwhile Susan" and "39
East" are still the most notable ele-
ments in her wholly delightful screen
presence.

CarlyIe's Queer Taste.

Carlyle played extraordinary tricks
with his digestive apparatus. Writing
in the British Medical Journal some
years after Carlyles death, Sir Rich
ard Quain- remarked: '"The late Mr..
Carlyle was Il patient Of mine. AS
all the world knows, he was |; man Of
great judgment and great power of
observation, yet with regard to him
self the only remedy I could ever get
him to take was grey powder. This
was when he had that wretched dys-
nepsia to which he was subject, and
which was fully accounted. for by tt e
fact that he was particularly fond Of
very nasty gingerbread. Many times
| have seen him sitting in the Chin
ney corner smoking clay pipe and
eating gingerbread. He overcame the
difficulties incidental to this habit by
his grey powder, which did him much
good" -.
