The tea call arrived, well laden with

Lord Rollins never forgot that first
ten party when, under his ancestral
roof, the entire MyVa Dawson film
company partook of his hospitality.
Myra was constantly on the alert
for scenes, anil the conversation jump
ed at random from English springtime
to American skyscrapers, but ever and
anon Lord Hollins found that his eyes
were meeting the pair of brilliant ones
belonging to Myra.
"Topping summer ibis will be," he

yet a too bad movie actor. His move
ments when under the scrutiny of
Myra were a bit stilted, hut she was
most encouraging and spleudidly help
ful. Working with her was a pleasure
far beyond any Lord Rollins had ex- ;
perienced. The novelty, the excite
ment and the occasional delightful loYe
scenes through which he acted with
Myra all helped to lead him back to
the oldtime health and strength.
Ij was during the third reel of their
second plav, when, as per direction, he
was pressing a .smothering ki^s on the i
fuir heroine's left cheek, that Lord
Rollins spoke not reel but real love
words.

the camera man kept winding; "1 have

softly, and her cheek turned more '
closely to the hero's, "but 1 cannot be

A Demonstration of the new Paige five-passenger Glenbrook
quickly proves the advantages of the modern viewpoint of
engineering over what might be termed "old school mechanics."
Power and speed in abundance are needed today to guarantee
adequate performance. Sudden emergencies of daily service
require a motor that responds instantly to every demand.
Ride in the Glenbrook and observe how it accelerates from a
speed of five to twentyfive miles an' hour in nine seconds flat.
Test its speed; try it out over had roads and up steep grades.
That's the sort ot demonstration that will reveal the full advan'
tages of this distinctly new engineering development.
