Fly.
'Sometimes you get at a horse

Billie Brownie. doesn't that seem
to be unfair?
"And in any case" he added.
"you do all the harm you can with

Then l should say you know

Fly.

said Billie Brownie. But I wanted
to hear from you, yourself, If the
things l have heard about you are

Brownie had said.
Instead she looked rather

"Probably what you have heard

Brownie.
II was going to tell you in the
first place." said Mrs. Horse Fly.

about 1t, so I didn't think it was

home from Europe yesterday,
both denying their engagements
to Charles Duell, president of
their film corporation.
Because the contract would not
permit him to release the film
version of "The Outsider" un-
til May, 1925, D. w. Griffith
has given up his option on the
play which was to be sold him
for 100000. In the
New York American today, Lou
ella Parsons, film editor, de-
clares that Gloria Swanson's trip
abroad was not, as announced, a
vacation but to allow j. N.
Barrie to pass on her qualifica-
tions as Peter Pan.
