avoid any new measures which might

the conviction that the fate of the

that a reversal of policy would entail
opposition from wide influential
groups of political leaders and power
ful personages in the administration.

ADJUSTMENTS
MUTT AND JEFF FOR
K|DD|ES At COLUMBIA

If the picture makers had have
searched the world over they could not
have found a more wonderful story to
put in to movies than that of Mara
vene Thompson's novel, THE Womans
Law" which ran recently in the
American magazine.
Briefly. George circuit, profligate and
no account commits murder His wife
to shield her baby helps him to escape.
On her way home her auto almost runs
down an exact counterpart of her erring
husband. The double is unable to re-
member his name or his past. The
woman sees a chance to play him as
her husband and she takes him to her
home. Through several years of init
mate life she learns to know him for
what her husband was not-a good
true man. The boy loves almost to the
point of worship. He, the man, cannot
understand what he thinks is his wife's
coldness. for he believes they are man
and wife. One day the real husband
returns and is killed for a burglar by
the butler, and the husband pro TEN
awakes to his own identity. He is a
wealthy man who lost his memory
through shock, and while the woman
had him masuerading as her husband
ne learned to love her. But that is
the story that would suffer in the
telling in type. In the picture the per-
plexity of this man through the years
of his service as a husband in name
only, the fight of the woman who learns
to love him to remain true to herself,
and his periods when he is prompted
to assert his supposed rights as her
husband, are the biggest kind of ma
terial for a smashing story, and with
Florence Reed in the part of the wife,
Pathe has produced a picture that will
take precedent over the very common
place budget of plays that are the re-
suit of hurried scenario writing to win
against time.
