DAUGHTERS OF THE NIGHT.
“Daughters of the Night,” the great William Fox photo-idramatisation of a telephone girl’s life and love, which will be shown to-night, features, Alyce Mills as pretty Betty Blair, who is directing the midnight pursuit of motor bu.ndits by long-distance telephone when fire breaks out in the telephone building. She is all alone in the night office. She dare not leave the switchboard for even a second, less the motoring marauders escape. A«- the flames, make headway rapidly towards the exchange room, and the smoke gets thicker and hotter, she continues to take the direction calls from the lineman pursuing the motor bandits on a motor-cycle, and then notifies the night operators of the next towns. Just as the message is. flashed to her by her lineman lover that the gang is caiight she falls from the switchboard overcome by smoke.
