Swimming scenes in "The Impossi-
BILE Mrs. Beilew," the new Gloria
Swanson Paramount picture coming
to the Caughren Theatre Dec. 2 and
are said to have been given added
realism because of the fact that one
hundred beautiful bathing girls APP

swimmer.

great injustice to an innocent man,
despicable treachery to a woman, a
clever plot for vengeance and gold, a
Grass plot by international thieves, a
great problem and a great sacrifice.
