TO-DAY'S CHINESE “TELEGRAMS.
(Bud Tsz Yot Po Service)
Shanghai, March 19.
It is rumoured here that Sir John Jordan has left for Shang- hai to sea Taug Shao-yee to ascertain the real circumstances in the South, and that upon his return the Diplomatic Body will Įmeet to consider another friendly
Shanghai, March 19.
Annexing Bill" is a fine-flavored light comedy of the reman.representation to China. fic type and winsome Gladys Hulette and her co-star, Creighton Hale, have the most pleasing and altogether delightful picture-play of their respective screen careers in Edgar Franklin's elevarly written play.
In the first place, Enid Barwell is an art student with no money. Billy is in love with her. He is a young lawyer just starting on what promises to be a splendid career. Then a ship founders, and it is reported that a maiden aunt of Enid's is lost. Enid is her sole heiress and is notified that a million dollars awaits | her. And Billy firmly declares he will not warry her.
Enid is very much in love with Billy and the mere matter of a million dollars standing between her and happiness is promptly lisposed of. She plans to hand over her new fortune to a friend's husband, who is notoriously unsuccessful in investments. The transfer of the money is just about to be consummated when lo! there appears upon the scene the aunt who was believed to have been drowned.
It seems that all is well now with the young lovers when it is suddenly discovered that the pauedo aunt is really an imposter and that Enid is really in possession of the million dollars after all.
How the tangle is straightened out and true love comes into its bwa is ingeniously depicted in the concladding chapters of "Anuex- ing Bill"
