COTTON GOODS

NEW YORK, Feb. 7 1.N.S.r
Coarse yarn gray goods markets
were irregular today. Prices
varied considerably. Offerings OF
some print cloths and a number
OF narrow sheetings at lower
prices, some for quick and some
for later deliveries. proved dis
turbing and threw quoted values
out of line on these cloths. So
far as could be learned, not much
business was taken during the
day.
Buyers were unable to form
definite opinion as to the trend
of events, however, and were
largely disposed to wait a time
before placing contracts. A mod
crate amount of spot business
was about all the market deVel'
oped. Other coarse yarn descrlp-
tions were quiet. and. except IN
carded broadcloths where flrmer
pirces were named, were un-
changed.

STUDENTS BELIEVE
'GRETA GARBO MYTH.
Evelyn Brent to Be Starred
in Film Adaptation of
pagan Lady,"
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD. May 81 (N.AN.A).-
The days laugh in the colony is the
result of Chicago's Northwestern Uni
versity, which issued QUESTIONABLE re-
! Gently in which, among other queries,
was who Is Greta Garbo?"
That 16 out of 25 students thought
Greta Garbo was a figure in Greek
mythology is giving the village no small
smile. especially rival producers, who
have heard good deal of late about the
box-cfflce impregnability of the Scan
dinavian lady who has put mystery on
the front pages.
Those independent productions of
EVELYN Brent, under the management of
her husband. Harry Edwards, are eX-
ceedingly significant when you come to
realize what independent casting may
do.
Evelyn Brent one of the most beauti-
full women in the colony has suffered
considerably from silly stories, bad cast
ing, inferior direction, and the rest.
Her new picture, screen version of
Pagan Lady" stage play which David
BelaSco produced for Leonore Ulrich,
has a splendid caSt-the sort of group
which the regulation lot, with its stock
players, is rarely able to give.
That Conrad Nagel Charles Bickford,
Roland Young, Lucille Gleason, Gwen
Lee, William F'al mum and Leslie Fenton
all get together in one film with Evelyn
Brent as leading lady is q whole chapter
in the praise of the picture made as a
single unit and without thought of stu
dio politics CT need to use stock players
whether suited to the role or not.
And now Daisy De Voc sues Mr.. Cir
nau about Clara Bow. If YOU put the
accents on the right syllableS, this will
turn out to be rhyme, and don't expect
anything better than good, healthy
rhvme out of it.
Daisy De Voc, Clara's ex-secretary,
says that she held meeting with Cir
nau about some articles purported to be
written at future date, and that she
signed a paper of some sort that he
falsely purported to be an authorization
TO publish her life story, If and when it
was written"
Now Daisy says she had nothing to
do with the awful articles, so that Cir
nau really owes her about $1,000
damages, which is the sum in question
in the suit.
The entire Bow-De Voe-Girnau mess
Is going to cost some one a lot of money
before its over / wouldn't be naive
enough to say who it is.
That number OF people opportunis-
tically inclined found in the haphazard
lit" girl an excellent subject for mulct-
ing Is beyond doubt true. That she has
been exploited is also true. That she is
not the first motion picture light to be
so used is also quite true. That quick
action alone can save her for the public
comes within the bounds of truth again.
The feeling in the colony today anent
the matter is an increasingly frank
opinion that motion picture stars are
entitled to certain amount Of privacy
regarding their own lives; that exploita-
tion may turn into destruction.
It's difficult to figure whether or not
the present move is change of heart
or change Of strategy. This Bow-De
Voe-Girnau affair is going to rank with
the Taylor mystery in its final analysis.

for
abundant
vitality

All the worlds a stage. And we,
to play our parts successfully, need
more vitality than most of US have.
That's why we need more Welch's,
the vitalizing juice of luscious Con-
cord grapes.
Here's a remarkable thing about
Welch's. It's so delicious that people
used to consider it purely as a social
drink. 1t is. But it's also fruit. And
it's also food, prepared by Nature
for producing quick energy without
adding weight.
Whenever you are hot, tired, hum
cry, thirsty, drink bunch of grapes"
and see how quickly it tunes you up.
Drink Welch's for your breakfast
fruit-it's cheaper than fresh fruit.
But be sure it IS Welch's-labora-
tory controlled and pasteurized-pure.
