Miss Peters still couldn't get away
from inquiry"

Liverpool and who now calls Holly

back west soon to take up again q
screen career that started with an
appearance with Norma TalmadgS
in 1.-THE Lady" "An Inspector

there's a picture role in the near

The actress has appeared in q

"Old English" In which she ap-
peared opposite the late George

Of Miss Lloyd. This left Miss Lloyd
with. minute part in the picture,
so far as acting Is concerned, but
she did leave her mark on it.

Mr.. Cummings that American au-

Multitude had been served If they
heard these people in Cornwall
talking American. 1t also occurred
to him-tfis was before the recent
ly-repealed rs per cent tax had gene
into efect-that British audiences
would consider the speech Of the
United States roughly out of place
on that picturesque Cornish coast.

Says he:
mo two chimneys are ex-

seem to be ailing from exactly

headache, I suppose, is squir-

I'VE often find in modern

of his master. Smallness was
an asset in an apprentice, for
the timer the lad the easier

To meet the. wretchedness
of their plight a series of pal
liative laws was enacted in
England, beginning with the
latter part of the 18th CELL
tury. One law made it a
crime to allow any apprentice
under 20 to enter a chimney.
Another forbade a master
from apprenticing any one
under 16. Chimney cleaning
rose in respectability with the
passing years. In 1922 there
were in all England 5000
