In the New York home of James Brood,

and comrades, await the coming OF
Broods son. Frederic, to learn the con-
tents Of a wireless from Brood, but Fred
eric, after reading, throws 1t into the
fire and leaves the room without a word.
Frederic tells Lydia Desmond, his fiancee
that the message announces his father
marriage, and orders the house prepared
for an immediate homecoming. Mrs.
Desmond, the housekeepsr and Lydla's
mother, tries to cool Frederics temper
at the impending changes. Brood and his
bride arrives. She wins Frederic's liking at
hrst meeting. Brood shows dislike and
yelled hostility to his son. Lydia and Mrs,
Brood meet in the Jade room, where Lydia
works as Brood'S secretary. The room,
dominated by great gold Buddha, Is fur
nished in oriental magniticence. Mrs.
Brood, after a talk with Lydia, which
leaves the latter puzzled, is startled by
the appearance of Ranjab, Brood's Hin
du servant. Mrs. Brood makes changes
in the household and gains her husband s
consent to send Mrs. Desmond and Lydia
away. She tries to fathom the mystery
of Brood's separation from his first wife,
and his dislike of his son, but fails. Mrs.
Brood fascinates Frederic. She begins TO
fear Ranjab in his uncanny appearances
and disappearance, and Frederic, remem-
bering his fathers East Indian stories and
nrm belief in magic, fears unknown EVIL.

GUS, unjustly orders his son from the

Frederic to the jade-room and influences
him to apologize to his father and the
guests for his alleged lapse. Brood tells
the story of Ranjab's life to his guests:
''He killed a woman" who was unfaithful
to him. Yvonne plays with Frederic's
infatuation for her. Her husband warns
her that the thing must not go on.
