 Tcys With Mems Hearts
 AS Lil Andrews, the Red Terror of Renwood," Miss Harlow toys with the hearts of Chester Morris, Lewis Stone, Henry Stephenson and divers other men. Even in her most platinum of blonde days she never wrought such havoc.
 Her conquests are at the ex- pense of two charming blondes in the person of, Leila Hyams and Una Merkle.
