Clarke is representing an eastern aeroplane company for whom he buys spruce timber from boswell, but ow- ing to unsettled conditions in the/ camp he is having ditficulty in secur- ing a good grade of lumber. This brings about a dispute with John Hartwell, superintendent of the mills, who forbids his daughter, Puth, from seeing Clarke again. Clarke and Ruth are sweethearts and in spite of parental objections the lovers continue to communicate with each other and meet whenever possible. The spirit of unrest has been en- gendered and kept alive by Ivan, an agitator, who in the name of reform has caused dissatisfaction among the | men. ! Ivan has brains and education and| is fast gaining influence over the men. | At heart he cares nothing for the! workers but simply uses them as a| weapon to further his own interest. The cast of characters includes Broderick O'Farrell, Mary Baker, Lee Hill, Albert Garcia, William Dills, Jean Hersholt, Georgia Wordthrope, Bert Sprotte and Carol Halloway. grain grower would stir up at the prospect of being togged out in a red corduroy middy blouse, belted in over olive green knickerbockers that tuck fnto high felt boots.

When Mackaroff met the fate that he had invented for Ivan and Michael and all the rest, we, 1or one, were sorely tempted to cheer. It would be unfair to select any one member of the cast for special mention—they were all splendid. Gaston Glass, who scored so triumph- antly in “Humoresque,” is seen again as a young violinist, while Wilton Lackaye, Bradley Barker, Gladys Co- burn, Bigelow Cooper, Ann Suther- land, Kate Price, Edna Shipman and William Colvin are seen in roles to which their talents ideally suit them. “God’s Crucible” is a remarkable picture in seven parts, and will be shown together with “Alphalpha Love,” a two-part comedy featuring Brownie, the wonder dog, for the lntst time tonight at the Grand the- ater. thing to eat.

Barnum made the state- ment “There’s a fool born every min- ute,” he uttered one of the quaintest epigrams of all time.

The Care of Jewels. It is stated by good authority that the safest way to carry jewels is in a belt, made for the purpose, around the waist. 7This is not exposed and is secure, if reasonable care is taken in adjusting it, and it is not uncom- fortable. The worst possible way is to put' them in a jewel case. The business of duplicating strings of pearls is at present a profitable in- dustry of the Riviern towns.
