Repentance" powerful two-reel
Thanhouser drama. will be shown at
the Colonial Theater today.
Tom Hampton, senior partner in the
legal firm OF Hampton & Gray. is of a
domineering. sarcastic disposition. His
partner is mild hammered and inoffensive
and gives no indication that Hampton's
taunts and sharp barbs OF wit affect
HIM Secretly, however, Gray broods
over his fancied wrongs.
Hampton is found murdered. When
inquiry is made at his law offices, Gray
and a clerk are found poring over the
books. They exhibit all the symptoms
of surprise and grief. For time the
police hold them under observation. but
investigation into the crime eventually Is
dropped.
Years later Gray's daughter. now
grown to womanhood, is injured in an
accident. A young man, who proves to
be Hampton's son. saves her from seri-
GUS injury, and romance develops.
Gray. although secretly unwilling to
have his daughter marry young Hamp-
ton. displays every outward evidence OF
satisfaction. He rises to announce their
engagement at a banquet given in honor
Of the young couple, but the words Of
felicitation die upon his lips when an at
tack of heart disease seIzes him.
Upon his deathbed Gray confesses to
his physician that years before he killed
Hampton and leaves it TO the doctors 5
discretion whether to make the fact
known after his death or not. After
Gray's death the doctor hesitates to
make use of the confession. inasmuch as
Hampton's SLAYER has passed beyond the
fear Of any earthly punishment and to
besmirch his name would only injure the
innocent. While the doctor still hesi-
tates, the young couple take things into
their own hands, and settle his doubts
by marrying.

to Chief of Police Donahue and after n.
