If you want to live in the kind of town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start long. long hike
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new.
It's knock yourself when you knock your town,

Real towns not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead

You raise town from the dead
And if while you make your PERSONAL stake
Your neighbor make one, too,
Your will be what you want to see.

SYNOPSIS,

Mary Page, actress. is accused OF the
murder of james Pollock and Is defended
by her lover, Philip Langdon. Pollock
was Intoxicated. At Mary's trial she ad-
mits she had the revolver. Her maid
testifies that Mary threatened Pollock
with 1t previously, and Mary's leading
man duplicates Langdon. How Mary dis
appeared from the scene Of the crime Is
mystery. Brandon tells of strange hand
print he saw on Mary's shoulder. Further
evidence shows that horror OF drink pro-
duces temporary insanity in Mary. The
defense is "repressed psychosis." Wit
nesses described Mary's fight from her In
