THE ACTION so FAR.

Lorelei knight, a beautiful
young girl, has been brought up
in a rural community by a schem-
ing mother, who sees in her good
looks possible means to obtain af-
fluence for herself, her weak hus-
band and her worthless son. Peter
Knight, the father, has Just lost
his job and has been offered
small clerkship in New York City
by a political leader who owes
him a service. Mrs. Knight in
forms him that she has arranged
for him to accept and that Lore
lei is fitted by face and figure to
go into one of the musical revues
there. Her freshness and beauty
win her the admiration of theate-
goers. A famous critic is sent to
interview her and finds her unaf-
fected and frankly taking gifts
from men and turning them over
to her family. She attends a ban
quet given by a big steel operator
named Harmon.

directed that note be sent to Sanders
