Will enhance MI. WaIshs reputation

production is based on the recent
sensational De Saulles case in which
q wealthy and prominent young So
ciety woman killed her husband and
was acquitted after a trial, the pro-
ceedings Of which crowded the war
news off the first pages of Metropol-
itan newspapers for several days. The
court room scene in which the &C
cused woman faces the twelve men
who are to decide her fate is the
last word in realism.
The announcement that Miriam
Cooper was cast for the part of the
wife in '7Woman and the Law" re-
calls the fact that a, few short years
ago this screen star was wearing her
long black tresseS in q Saucy pig
tail" style after the manner of school
girls. Miss Cooper came to the silent
stage from school in New York where
she moved with her parents after a
girlhood spent in the southland. She
played in the big screen attra ctions

erance," in both productions she won
lavish praise.
