FRENCH GIRLS LIKE
 FOREIGN HUSBANDS

PARIS, June l - Foreign husbands are in demand by French girls but the French men keep their Eeatts at home.
 A thousand French girls every month find men from other lands preferable to their compagiots. Only half that many French men take for eign brides to the, altar, s
 Small as is the number of international marriages, it is increasing and eventually, say observers, the mixture of na- tionalities should relieve con siderably the natural chauyin- ism of the French. This is being aided, some people be- lieve. by the presence in France of one foreigner for every twenty French people, although others think the rap i'd influx Of foreigners, most of them workers, competing with the French. simply causes more friction.

 tsThe ferocity and blood-cnrdling fction that is flashed on the creen leaves a doubt in the sninds of the audience as to the fafety of any of the animal ac. Tors in the story. But so clever Nv acted and directed was this

 Not only the fight scenes of the Hog, but those of the girl, Alice Calhoun, against the same pack with an empty gun, are breath. takingly effective. Miss Calhoun makes very pretty and plucky heroine in this story of the Canadian wilds, written by Ewart Adamson.
 Don Alvarado iS excellent in he role of Ed Nolan, wastrel and Sluggard, until the girl and the Fog come into his life and meta fmorphose him completely. Leo Willis is a cruel and treacherous |rapper, a truly villainous charac- |erization, and little Mary Jane Milkiken is delightful as the baby sister of Miss Calhoun.
