loved you for. a year. But you are only a simp, fit to marry a simp, and become the mother of Simpklns." Livingston was rich and proud, and most selfish. She met him again, later, in France, where her father regained his health in the life he loved and had missed so long. He did a valiant thing for France, too.

And Livingston, after being in thei uniform of our soldier boys for a few months, decided she was not to marry a simp after all, unless he was one. And he wasn't for he became a hero and a mans man, and the leading

character In a story of conquering strength and fascination. - One of the biggest scenes, as far as emotional strength goes, in Pettigrew's Girl," Ethel - Clayton's new Paramount picture, shows the return of -victorious troops from France. For the making of these scenes soldiers were brought to the studio- at Hollywood, Calif., from nearby cantonments and the officers were of great aid in making the action realistic. The officers of the bodies which were used consented to act in their official capacity before the camera, directing the movement of the troops In proper military fashion. Realistic settings were constructed in the studio to represent the transports in the harbor, etc., and the parts of the picture in which this action takes place, are tremendously effective.

George Melford directed the producI tion, which is based upon the Satur

day Evening Post story by Dana Bur

net. Will M. Richey made the -adap tatlon, and in the cast are Monte Blue, Charles Gerard, James Mason, -Clara Whipple and others. It will be shown at the Murrette theatre today for the last time. .1 MURRAY - Elmer CnnAv. whn la ttiA TrtnMna.l

So seriously did it affect Leo Peret, that the doctor told his daughter Jeanette, if he didn't return to his native France he would die. Where was the money coming from? She didn't know and certainly he didn't. All they had was a small tobacco and news-stand. It came one

afternoon from the most surprising source, two $500 bills. They never knew just who sent it, only they thanked him again and again in their prayers. But it was the man who had insulted Jeanette more thoroughly than any person in her merry young life. One day Edward Livingston walked up to the counter, bought a package of cigarettes, and said, "I love you, I have
