Mias Hopkins, among the meat popular feminine stars on the screen to-day, is afforded the best opportunity she has had in her role of the city girl who noen to her grandfather's farm and finds intre the peace and contentment she couldn't get in the elty. Here is a role of exacting 'demanda and she is said to have exceeded in power the strength written into the original part. Fran- chot Tone heads the supporting east in the role of the college-bred farmer with whom the city girl falls in love. Stuart Erwin fills a featured spot as who knows more than he appears to. Simon, the
