But when you have a close-tip of* it as you do in the Cosmopolitan-Paramount picture, “Proxies” which comes to the Vamp Theatre for one day, next Thursday, you have an additional thrill. This necklace, according to the story of “Proxies,” was the ante nuptial present of Homer Carleton to, his fiancee, Carlotta Darley, daughter of a millionaire. The neck lace is placed in Darley’s safe for safekeeping, but Clare Conway a maid of predatory instincts, learns the combination and possesses her self of the adornmenc. When Peter, a butler, her sweet heart, catches her with the jewel case in her possession, he forces her to-return it and reminds her of her promise to live as straight as he, i former convict is doing. Thus a double love story, embellished by many thrills, the. results of situations that ariae, develops. The story was written by Frank R. Adorns and the director waa- Georgs D. Baker.
