“SOMETHING TO DO’’
She “knew” that he was a “fake” count and she despised him
for it. He was doing it to help her though. You see, he was a useless
millionaire who wanted “sometthing to do.”
Did he do something? Did he! Was his disguise effective! Too
much so! It surely is a great comedy. Come, won’t you?

“EYES OF THE SOUL”
SHE HAD TO CHOOSE
One man was a rich—a judge and he loved her. The other was
poor—a soldier—blinded in the war. She was just a girl—a dancer in
a cabaret—longing for ease and luxury. Yet she looked on life through
the eyes of her soul and chose. And if you live hundred years you’ll
never feel a picture tugging harder at your heart than this.
