tion of Robert Kendall. a pearl

scenes Of the new picture are

chock full of tense situations and
action.
There is a fighting Swede,
played by Clarence Burton, who

French girl, played by beautiful
Sylvia Dreamer, supplies All the
romance and love interest that
one could desire. Mr.. Holt has
the role of young man who be-
lieves that peace and kind words
can accomplish anything, and is
not inclined to change his views
even when he finds his pearling
grounds despoiled by ruffians.
The scorn of the girl whips him
into action, and her regard for
him is his reward for success.

You hear a lOtta danes raving

ity in marriage and give up their

riage or any other way. Why the
women who have had the greatest
personalities have been the wives
Of men whose names they made
famous.
The trouble with a great many
women is that they suffer, not
from personality. but from per.
sistenCy to exploit themselves and
do foolish things.
They surround themselves with
a bunch Of guys who will ives"
anybody for a meal, and a place
to spend the evening and nothing
else.
II dame wants to wear freakish
clothes and drag on long exag-
gerated cigarettes, they sit by and
fan the flame of the fOOlishness by
acclaiming everything she does or
says as "Original' and "individuul."
If their hostess took notion to
walk into the drawing room on her
hands they would probably declare
il the most delightfully."- refreshing
innovation OF the season and stand
on the sidelines applauding her for
having the courage Of her convic-
tiOns.
Among them anything different
is heralded as a distinct mark OF
individuality, vivid personality and

Hhis dame is married to a good.

down for all these weird parlor
