proprato atmosphere of Christmas
tide. with the lights turned low and
the music signing plaintively of home,
sweet home. the curtain is rung down
upon the third act of the great Corey
domestic drama.
There are the reconciled husband and
wife, the hopeful son between his re-
united parents. the stern father who de-
fies the world to insinuate that there
was ever shadow on the domicile, and
the sarcastic uncle uttering epigrams in
the background. Also there is the cheer
full clink OF money-millions of it-and
the soft light of the fireside shining
over all.
