Perhaps a little overlong for the sake

while. first Of all for its ingenious and
original treatment Of threadbare flc-
tional subject. that Of heredity. The
shadow of an ancestral crime darkens
the outlook upon the future of the
young heroine. who has discovered that
her slender, tapering hand Is that Of the
Marauise de Brinvilliers. And when 1T
last she decides to marry 1t is only be-
cause she believes that the man who
asks her needs her help on the path.
This man himself is a convincing study
of the artistic temperament without Gre
alive energy. of the negative character
that ever follows the line Of least re-
sistance, and only crawls along that. It
follows that this man, unable to pro-
duce anything worth while In New YORK,
persuades himself that what he needs -
