She want ed to go to Parir to study music but found a ministers daughter was not us- ually supplied with enough of this worlds goods to get so far firm home. As a, result she found her dream was nothing but a bursted bubble and she cook in the apartment of an interior deoo- rator. The decorator had S friend who was deeply in love with C society bud who was interested greatly in sociai up- lift work. It was planned to have Polly become deeplyfn love with the unapDre- ciated wooer. the man tae society girl did not appreciate. as much as he ds- sired. She was also good material for the reformer to work upon fin trying cut her ideas. So Polly becomes Frencn girl who has wrecked thrones and whose name was famous on the French bOuie- wards.

BREED THEATRR.

When Thomas H. Ince selected the eAst for Lying Lips. the tremendous drama of life and love which has been announceA as the feature attraction at the Breed theatre tday, he chose a number of star red players who would comprise an all- star cast in every sense of the word. House Peters, who was selected for the leading male role of Blair Cornwall. a sturdy Canadian cattleman. has been one of the outstanding figures of the silver screen for a number of years. His work h The Great Redeerner. a recent Maur e. Tourneur produetin. was hailed as one of the triuTnphs of the year. IL Is said q ai the creation of the role of Cornwall f- lords him even greater scope and oaisori i- nity to create an unforgettahle asreeg character. Florence vidor. who is CO., starred with Peters. has been east as Nance Abbott. a luxury-loving daughter of an aristocrtio English family.
 Other pictures on the bill include the Pathe News and e Century comedy.
