Ancient Oriental
Ring Brings
Luck

Louise Lorraine. playing the
feminine lead with Johnny Hines
in chinatown Charlie" his new
First National picture, is not
especially superstitious. but the
fact that she. has been having
quite run of good luck since
wearing an ancient Chinese ring
for the film, is intriguing.
The ring WAS loaned by Tom
Gubbins who acts as technical
advisor on the Oriental sequences
of the picture which Charles
Hines Is directing under the
supervision or c. C. Burr.
Tom claims to have purchased
it from a German soldier in
China after the war and it is
said to have once belonged to
the former empress OF the then
Celestial empire. Part OF the
people OF Cathay believe 1t is 81
good luck token while others
affect to think otherwise. Any
way it has brought only good
luck thus far to Louise Lorraine,
so everybody's happy.
Johnny Hines. in the title role
of this comedy. is said to have
one Of the most unusual roles OF
his career.

Turkish type that Turkish women
will be weaned from the "unciviliz-

vanity and economy and which, as
fact, worn as they now are in tur-

are far more fetching than any hat
