"Was She To Blame?"

This delightful pastoral society
drama, which enlists the interest
Of its auditors from beginning to
end, is a fascinating story skill
fully portrayed and embellished
with bright comedy, one that
cannot fail to be enjoyed. The
story is that of an artists dau9h-
ter, Diana Balfour, who lives in
rustic simplicity with a maiden
aunt. She receives a proposal
of marriage from her guardian,
Bruno Severn, and not realizing
what matrimony really means,
accepts, and the ceremony is
performed at once. Diana is
taken to live with her husband
and his sister, who treat her
most inhumanly, the companion
ship of her child is even denied
her, and she finally curses them
and runs away, believing that
they have killed her babe. Years
after, she hears ofBruno Severn's
death. She meets Lord Kurston
and eventually weds him. After
nine years of matrimonial bliss,
bruno Severn, who was not
really dead, turns up and accuses
her Of being his faithless wife,
She denies the accusation unit
it is proven concIusively. This
does not alter Lord KurstOn's
love for her, and all is we'll tina
ends we'll. Comedy is supplied
