The fun commences to approach with the speed of a shell from a Ger man siege howitzer in the second act, with a muzzle velocity of about 30,- 000 feet a second. To escape some friends, who Uave started to pall on them, by reason of living in the same apartment building, with one family below and the other above, the Haw kins move to a new building.

This remarkable production, taken from Elinor Glyn's famous book of the same name, has been the talk of two continents and has been the most discussed story of the past ten years. The book has been read by about 80,000,000 people, but, if the in terest shown by those who saw this great feature at the Victoria yesterday is any criterion, it is fair to assume that a great many more will sec this wonderful film production.
