But of course there is a mistake somewhere or other, and the girl goes back to her former position in the scale of things, and gains her lover again. The story is deliriously told, and many a re?.lly fine setting as background for its interesting action. It is supported hy a hilarious comedy called "The Dishonest Burglar," th? most recent number of the Pathe News Gazette, and the eighth episode of "The Great Secret."
