To-day and to-morrow Daniel Froh
man presents Marguerite Clark In "Still
Waters," a story of canal-boat life and
of the circus written by Edith Barnard
Delano.
When old man Martin's oldy daugh
ter eloped with a circus performer, it
was a bltte- blow to him, and when
the deserted girl returned, a year later,
he refused to forgive her. but took her
babv girl away from her before he ban
ished her from his Sight. Terror
stricken by the fear thiU little Nesta
would suffer the same fate that had
overtaken her mother. Martin had de
cided to seek seclusion on a canal boat,
where he gave her every educational
advantage possible. A vivacious, ex
remely bright and ambitious girl. Nesta
frets at the restraint, and finally slips
away to a neighboring orchard, where
she meets young Dr. Ramsay, the
owner of the property. A flirtation re
sults fro mthis chance rpeetlng which
soon ripens into love.
A circus, the first that Nesta has ever

vincing and certainly unusual. A thrill
ing ana exciting moment is when Miss
Dolly, while dancing on the sands of
the seashore, clad in a bathing suit, is
pursued bv her lover until she reaches
a high cliff and plunges over. Great,
suspense follows until the pretty girl
