fclBEL NO. TITLft t>RODtJC»R poetry quite changed his mind. "I'll go"', said Douggie, "I have seen some views of Paragonia that have changed my mind." From that moment things begin to happen in "The Americano." Douglas races after Alma to tropical Paragonia. He finds that revolutions have been tumbling over one another and the old Presidente has been tumbled into prison. There is a very repulsive gentleman by > the name of Colonel Gargaras who wishes to marry Senorita Juana de Castille. The marriage is being forced upon her and it looks as though he will win out. In the meantime Douglas is fomenting plots, digging out prison walls, making love to Senorita Juana way up on the balcony, knocking Central American gentlemen on the head and whirling along at a terific U. S. pace toward his goal, Juana. Does he get her? You should see that last fierce gyroscopic wind-up when Douglas battles four generals and defies an army and you will find he does.

DA-829 to 36 "The Social Secretary' ' "Triangle Featuring Norma Talmqdge and Eric Stroheim The "SOCIAL SECRETARY", played by Norma Talmadge, is a young woman rarely beautiful, who is forced to earn her own living. Her beauty proves a serious handicap in that it attracts the attention of every man she is forced to come in contact with, the result being that she is forced to resign from place after place in order to escape from their attentions. Finally in desperation she sees an advertisement for a social secretary and answers it. Before doing so, however, she disguises her comeliness as much as possible by adopting a most severe style of dress, doing her hair in the plainest possible fashion and concealing a pair of wonderful eyes behind huge spectacles. She is accepted ior the position by the society matron who has inserted the advertisement. In the household there is a young son who is a most estimable young man with but one fault — drink. There is also a daughter — a foolish young tfiing who believes her cup, of happiness would be filled to overflowing were she able to announce her marriage to a titled person. One night the son coming home late after a spree, climbs in a window and comes unexpectedly on the social secretary who, believing herself safe from prying eyes, is satisfying a natural feminine desire to make herself look as pretty as possible. The son is astounded at the vision that confronts him, and as have all the other men, attempts to embrace her. The young woman finally escapes, however. The following morning the social secretary announces that she is going to resign, but the son, meeting her alone, begs her to remain, and promises that he will never offend again. She does so, and shortly afterwards meets a Count who is paying court to the young daughter of the household. The secretary recognizes him as one of the men with whom she has had an ugly office experience in former years. The secretary determines to thwart the count, however, and permits him to flirt with her again. He makes an appointment to meet her in the garden and she keeps it, first making certain that they will be discovered by the family. They are, and the engagement is broken off by the girl's mother. The count is persistent, however, and telephones the girl to meet him at his apartment. [18]
