In "Shirley Kaye" her role is of a
lighter touch than many of her pre

resourceful American girl who saves
the family fortunes and wins herself
i husband at the same time.
It will no doubt be of interest to

of the younger actors. Mis engage

first appearance in (he pictures.
"Mr. Giles plays the part of John
Rowson, the young railroad magnate
with whom Shirley first flirts and
then falls in love. So pleased was
Miss Young with his support and his
artistic interpretations of the role,
that she induced him to. sign up for
"The Marionettes," her next picture.
