"The Family Cupboard"


That very fine artist, Mr.. Holbrook
Blinn, is the central figure Of the
World Film Corporations forthcoming
release "The Family Cupboard" based
on the successful Brady stage play of
the same name.
Mr.. Blinn plays the part Of bust
ness man who, tired Of the frigidity
Of his home life, seeks diversion In
the society of a young vaudeville art
list, who is the queen of a slightly
disreputable Bohemian set. Nelson
the girls admirer, is detected by his
family in the liaison and then the
girl transfers her attentions to the
business mans son, who is on the
point of marrying the young lady.
She, however, incriminates herself by
revealing the existence Of smother
hand' to the foolish boy. When faiths,
and SON discover that they are both
dallying with the same woman, there
is general clearing up of an impossi-
BILE situation. Mr.. Nelson's wife abb
jures her society ways and becomes
domescticated; the boy repents; and
the skeletons are destroyed, "The
Family Cupboard" in future being
bare.
A very powerful story has beer
given powerful cast, which includes
Miss Frances Nelson.
.'The Family Cupboard" with be
