the other from the most contrasting
surroundings. Her picture deals
largely with the latter girl who af-
ter taste of luxry that lasts short
week is unable to bear the return
to her sordid life and suffer the
singing suspicion OF her mother and
brother and who rs n consequence
chooses suicide as n way out OF her
troubles.

carried In the title is never reality

itself into a human story, well told
and strong. preylng heavily upon
sympathies. particularly in its lat
ter reels and entertaining from the
very first. As 1t is absolutely devoid
OF anything Objectionable. anything
at all offensive and while II does at
the same time carry moral-a

cloak Of absorbing entertainment, II
may well be termed fine picture.
A remarkably good cast was as

tive work.
