Harry Howells knew all about women—and why—and he never ceased to marvel over the fact that half of his ancestors were women. After graduating from college, his uncle decided he must follow his footsteps and be a fireman. Uncle is a woman.hatef, and when he tinds Harry’s heart is aflame with Aburning love for a girl whom he considgrs is the “sweetest flower in the garden of love,” Uncle Har- Ty turns in an alarm to put out the fire of Harry's passion. Poor Harry's romance almost goes up in smoke, but the girl who really loves him blows the smoxe away and shows him where there’s a real flame.

Bran ?oy Fortunate Obscurity At the time he began maing talking reels, two years ago, Foy was not particularly prominent as a director. He had been a gag man and had directed some shor: comedies, but as yet no producer had felt inclined to entrust him with the making of a feature. length picture. Neither, however, did the pro ducers for whom he was working then feel inclined to waste time of one of their big-money direc. tors on the speculative expe ments with Vitaphone. It was a very mnew thing. Caution sug- gested trying it out on the dog first. Foy, one of the lesser “... rectors, was picked as the dog.
