Clara Young Picture at pi,ie.

MY Official Wife," at the Dixie to-
day, is a story that has attracted a
good deal OF attention, and is bound
to increase its following with the
course OF time. 1t is true to the Rus
STA and its autocratic system before
the great war. Ever and anon, scene
is run showing the horrors of Siberia.
1t gives the sense of contrast that
adds pleasure to the scenes OF lux
ury in and about the court. There
are many moments of suspense. Sew
eral times it looks as if the pretty
nihilist and the American would be
caught in the tolls. but they escape.
a thriller comes with the entrance of
the Gar when all OF the court does
obeisance. a fitting climax is the es-
cape of the young noble with the
nihilist. Quite dramatic is her ex-
~ sion OF hatred for him as one Of
the aristocracy and his overcoming OF
her scruples T. his remuneration of
wealth and rank.
Taken by and large, the director
has produced an artistic masterwork
as we'll as thrilling drama. He has
chosen wisely his cast, fitted each to
his task and furnished exquisite set
hngs both interior and exterior. The
