One of the most interesting things about this light drama, with a touch of comedy introduced through Anita Loos' subtitles and otherwise, is the true treatment of feminine lov of finery as seen in Mac Marsh's awful struggle to wear boy's clothes, which she has to do to keep "Grandpa," an old mnn who has saved her from the attacks of an over-loving youth, and who thinks ha has killed the latter, from the grasp of the detectives. This, 'inasmuch as Grandpa, formerly beard ed, and Polly, the orphan girl, work a transf o: mution in their anncaranie. jJUnd therefore are able to elude such , j detectives m exist in this particular T tcctives are not more insistent, we suppose, is (as is brought out later in the story) that there has been no murder, and Grandpa's greatest fense is kidnapping.

A clerk becomes interested in the wharf rat and the two finally become the best of pals. At last there comes the time when Robert discovers his supposed noy friend in the clothes of the captain a daughter, but this only increases the friendship of the two to something more violent. The detectives finally come md seize the old n'an and the girl, who is destined to Im taken into her step mother's custody. But Polly ju n;is over the taffrail of the steamer and into its wake just in time to be picked up by , Robert in a pursuing luunch. Robert's idea is marriage, and after talking the subject over (with Polly, she too agrees that a minister is the link to monnect them i with bliss. j Mae Marsh is delightful as the boy musician the only drawback is that "she is almost too delightfully feminine to be mistaken for a boy. Numer ms close-ups of Miss Marsha's face show some- intensely funny and subtle ex pressions. Robert Har.-on, too, is very good in his part, although it docs not make Second Liberty Loan Bonds A Safe Investment A Great Duty! i THE elks; "4 SHOW Will be Held at The Elks' New Home OCTOBER 24, 25, 26, 27 Bigger and Better Than Ever Many new attractive and exciting fea tures will be added this year.
