The story deals with a. little Hungar-
ian girl who has beautiful voice. She
comes to this country and Trevor, a
rich manufacturer of implements of
war advances money to have her
voice trained. She marries him, and
her struggle between love for her hus.
band and for her country forms the
plot of the story.
A typical dad man" is William S.
Hart, and in the role of Draw" Egan
in "The Return of Draw Egan" on
Friday he has a part suited to him
and one in which he appears at his
best. Hart states that he was raised
among so called bad men, and they
are not half as bad as they are paint
ed, but it remains that as reel" bad
man, he is in class by himself. Sup
porting him in this picture, is a. not
able cast.
