BEBE DANIELS AT ELSTREE

There are many who will recall' those popular comodies "Swim, girl swim". The collage Flirt" and Rio Rita and "Senorita" (in which she burlesqued Douglas Fairbanks) that showed not only the acting ability, but also the athletic pro wess of Bebe Daniela. This popu lar American" actress who is now making her debut at Elstree in "She Wanted Her Man," has an opportunity of indulging again in phsical exercises, but in more, lei. surely fashion...

In this film she is a famous muscial comedy star who has in- stalled a gymnasium in her Vien- nese home. Here, in a practical swimming suit she does her daily dazen, and all the requisite equip ment was procured for the soone. A rowing machine, bicycle exercl- ser, rib, stalls, Indian clubs. and punch ball all play their part in the picture and Bebe declares she has, during this part of the pro- duction, lost a superfous four ounces.

Cecilia, cool and composed as ever, assured them that she knew about this Daisy Sage. Owen ex- pressed surprise, but knowing Dai--- sy, he felt that it would be an in justice not to defend her.

He slipped his arm through hera and led her to a chair. "Darling did you really say you would mar ry me? You know I am so happy, I can't quite believe it." He was a blond-haired young man with finely shaped features that wore an expression of good humour, and intelligence. When he looked at Cecilia his blue eyes lit up with a passionate intensity that stirred her normally cold nature more than she cared to admit even to her- self.

Cecilia nodded in acquiescence,
