both Miss Summer and Mr.. Lawrence an
opportunity TO display their fullest ability.
Miss ThereSe MilfOrd'S emotion and Mr..
Lawrence's portrayal of a man whose
idol had proved false and whose sole de-
sire was the worst kind of revenge, are

the greatest of all are the living pictures,
which are the strongest drawing cards in
London and New York.
