the dainty. the delectable sweet, who first
came into extended mortal view in To

ordinary story, with very little excep
tional detail. but with Mae Murray and
Theodore Roberts it is guaranteed in ex-
pressiveness and in powerful acting. 1t is
surprising to see Miss Murray act so con-
sistently and remain so beautiful. Nat
urally. she does not compare with Mr..
Roberts. who is an old hand, n crafty and
wise actor. In this manifestation, sot and
