pictured at Moore.s Strand Theater yes

whom. Just before her debut in opera, is
crippled by an automobile. Her twin
sister Marion acts the role at the per-
Torrance as the other behind the scene
sings the words. The public is duped
and Marion receives an ovation. Later
she marries Monte Bruce and sends for
Helen. her sister. to accompany them on
a catching tour. Bruce is blinded by a
powder explosion. and Marion, who has
little use for blind husband. turns him
over to Helen's care. One day he recov-
ers his sight and detects his wife in the
act Of robbing him and clipping with his
secretary. That night the boat catches
fire, Marion and the secretary are lost,
while Bruce and Helen, who are saved,
see a life of happiness ahead. Thus
runs the story of THE Snarl." Miss
Barriscale enacts the dual role of the
sisters. the one a noble character, the
other frivolous creature without soul
or conscience. Music by the orchestra
is a feature.
