The picture tells the story of Polly.
child of the circus. who, tollowing the
death of her mother. in an accident,
ti raised by an old lclown, Toby.
Polly becomes a bareback rider, and
when she is injured by a fall during
her act, she is left behind in the little
town, while the rest of the circus
Hoes on.
When injured, Polly was taken to
the nearest house. which happened to
be that of a young minister. John
Douglas. Here Polly stays during the
long months of oonvalescence. She
is sixtecn. and beautiful. The minis.
ter is twentv~five, and a bachelor. So
the gossips are soon busy, and what
might have been a pretty romance is

I’olly is regarded
with open hontilitv and her presence
is particularly disquieting to Julia
Strong. the pretty daughter of the
town‘s big man. Deacon Strong.
Julia has set her cap for the young
pill‘HOll, and Polly'n presence upsets
all her plans.
Polly. ignorant of the bubbub she
is creating. in transformed under the
minister's guidance from an ignorant
circus waif to a tender and adorable
youn: woman Finally the minister
can no Ionzcr ignore the protests of
his congregation and he tries to tell
l’ollv that.
tlmucitt of separation terrifies the
gis'. and the love she so plainlv shows
makes the minister realize that he.
Mn. is in love.
Word comes to Polly of the serious
illnem of her old friend. Toby. the
clown, Under impulse Polly, rid-
inI: her r‘irf‘tts horse, sweeps into
the race at the county fair at the last
moment. and wins the purse with
which she hopes to buy comfort and
health for her 'id friend. But in win-
ning the race .:ln- increases the en-

she had defeated. and when the
deacon catches her at a disadvantage
he banishes her from the villase. mak-
ing hcrx believe that the minister's
church will be taken away from him
if she stays. Polly perforce must
leave without a word olexplnnntion
to Douglas. and the latter believes
tht‘ has chosen to return to the ctr-
one and her old life. The months
which pass do not serve to efface her
memory, bttt ’oniv strengthen the
minister's love. for the radiant.
who has passed out of his life.
for Douglas deepens and grows.
When another spring brings the
blossoms to the hillside orchards and
the big white. tops of the circus tents
to the vacant lot behind the church.
the little god that laughs at locks and
obstacles finds a way to bring these
two loving hearts together again—
even though it takes a panic and a
circus fire to do it. H

Stephen tinder, the young German

is getting a terrible punishment for
the land which
gave him shelter.
According to the experts he is slowu
ly drying up as the remit of the ter
the U. 8 soldiers before their debt! lrific electric shock he received when.
tore to France and richly.
Some idea of the enormity of the‘
work involved in the construction of
each of these cantonments may be
gained by comparing the work with
that of constructing a city of equal
size. The cantonments. on the aver-
age. house 40,000 men. Think how
long it takes to build an ordinsry city
of that size. .And then think of erect-
ing such a city in fifty-two days as
we see it done on the screen in “Over
Here." the wonderfully patriotic pic-
ture distributed by World-Pictures.
Naturally such an enormous work
involves the expenditure of a lumen _
dons amount of America's brains,
volcanic energy and general ability.
All this we see on the screen in the
hustle and bustle of 10,000 workmen,
thousands of horses, hundreds of ma'
chines—all working night and day to
act the big job done on time.
The Palam Theatre in South Nor
