Nine out of every ten men. women

Authorities say II was one OF the

romance is truly American and
could have no place in any other

meeting in the West measures up
to the requirements Of the most ad-
venturous Of romantists. The COM
bination OF English and American
characters for the love theme is par
ticular popular at this time. Gloria
Sawnson uses all her loveliness to
adorn the character of the English
girl, Nadine. with a streak of gypsy
blood in her.
Most fortunate indeed is the star
in having Milton Sills for her lead

feet choice for the role of the Amer
