What would you do if you had FIVE
million dollars? That is the problem
which confronted Robert Crewe and
Marion, his young wife, when Abner
Crewe, Roberts uncle, made him sole
heir of his vast fortune. 1t was given
him for spite, and for the sole purpose
of running him financially and morally,
because the uncle felt sure that he
would not make good use of the money,
that he would soon wade through it,
and end up a physical and moral
wreck, result in breaking up his happy
home, and otherwise, working en-
irely to the detriment of the young
man
How he had the millions, spent them
recklessly, suffered terribly, supported
La Broadway siren, estranged himself
from his wife, she from him, and how,
when apparently on the very edge of
he brink, their little daughter was
taken sick, bringing both perents to her
bedside, is all most dramatically told
in the five reels of motion pictures
which will be shown at the Opera
House on Wednesday, Oct. 4th, with
Robert Warwick, Clara Whipple and
Gerda Holmes in the leading roles.
Marion and Robert, their souls smear
ed and scored by the night of suffer
ing begin to eralize that all their
trouble emanated from Abner's legacy
Losing the fortune, but saving the
child has brought Robert to his senses
and he recognizes that he has regained
| all that really makes life worth while
| Besides the bed where lies their feeble
child, the couple tenderly and solemnly
plan the rebuilding of their happiness
