Germnn-made film, "The Last Laugh. T"
In Bebe Daniels new starring vehi.

scene is laid in a beauty pnrlor. Along
one side of the establishment is a
small room used for caring for wom-
ems hair. Miss Daniels walks into
the scene, followed by the cameraman,
who holds the camera against his
chest, entering one room after an.
other. leaving towels and doing other
things. There is no break in the ac-
ton throughout the sequence.
Due TO the gyroscope in the camera,

the camera without resulting jolts in
the picture. An electric motor turns
the film roll, the cameraman simply

Women's Desire for Show
Told in Charming
- Picture.

Wealth and humiliation or poverty
and responsibility is a problem that
has confronted women almost from the
time of Eve. It's an Interesting topic
that intrigues practically everyone
and the adoption of the theme to
pictures in Fine Clothes, at the Pal
ace this week should meet with more
than its share of attention from San
Antonio theater-goers.
This is the story of a London shop
keeper--a plodding, slow-thinking sort
of fellow whose every aim in life is
to make the most of a modest income
and do good for his fellowman. His
wife is lover Of fine clothes and at
tentions of men and squanders his saw
ings through financing an admirer in
business. His bookkeeper, a comedy
miss, sees in his misfortune an oppor-
tunity to better her own circumstances
by taking advantage of his friendship
with nobleman. She persuades him
to allow her to intercede for him and
secure work on the Earls estate and
is overjoyed when she is also hired as
his assistant.
Modest interest blossoms into. love
and in a short time her amours with
the Earl begin to prey on the con-
science of the hero who believes him
self responsible because of his having
brought them together.
According to the advance reports
there are some excellent situations
worked up that contain intense drama
and reach the stage of being emotional
thrills at many points of the produc-

LITTLE NOWADAYS

BERKELEY, Aug. S.-The stigma
of the term old maid" is losing its
devastating grip on womanhood, at
least the school marin, as represented
at the summer session of the Univer-
sity of California, cares nothing at
all for tie opinion of mere man or her
confreres.
A liking for tea, parrots and cats
has for centuries been synonymous
with spinsterhood.
There has been no marked influx
of parrots and cats into the Univer.
sity community but tea drinking has
increased to such an extent that the
eating places patronized by the sum
mer session students have had to or
der ten times as much tea as dur
ing the regular university semesters.

"Old-fashioned Movie Show" being
staged this week at the Empire serves
10 bring the mind the fact that the
motion picture industry has risen,
within a few short years, compare,
