by the Yorke Film Corporation,
one Of the Metro s newest produc-

Henry Otto took his company of
players to make the production.
Some of the big palaces and costly
homes, the most pretentious of
any in this country, were used as
the background for many of the
scenes. The story is one Of TO-
nance and adventure, and there is
an unusual twist to the finale
