Right atop OF his domestic trouble
comes q run on Clarke's bank. which.
IT develops. is part OF a plot devised
by blanchard, trust magndte, to rum
Clarke because the latter has dared
to play the game squarely. Clarke
uiumphs over his enemies and, In the

The bank scene In the third act Is
remarkably well done. One does not
see the mob at the paying-tellers
window and the line Of impatient de-
positors extending as the magma
ton can readily conceive, far out INTO
the street, but the breaking OIL VIII

to keep the mob In check. the inees-
SAINT clank of metal on the marble
counters afford all the realism neces-
sary. Mr. Shea IL at his best In this
scene. All the powers Of the finished
actor are brought to the fore, and yet
the scene Is not overdrawn.
Mr.. Shea has surrounded himself
with q. capable company. which IN
