After the world of crookdom in the play of 1922 vintage, it seemed rather picturesque to hark back to the Dickensonian period when crooks looked like old paintings, and even the most nefarious sported "period" clothes. Oliver Twist has always been one of the favorite characters in the Dickens Mrs. C. D. j K*llery a*"1 the fact that he was woven into as dark green a melodrama as the veriest picture-monger could set forth today, has endeared him to film patrons.

Mr. Miller worked at the > blacksmithing trade before going onto ; the farm and therefore is quite fa- j miliar with every detail connected j with the operation of a real shop. He j has spent considerable time at Ring-; wood, where he was employed at his trade, and therefore is not a stranger to the residents thereabouts. •Sis which is always a safe guide, shows that the most prosperous communities are those whose people r are largely interested in Savings Institutions.
