In "The Invisible Bond" which
opened a four-day run at Loew's Co

plays an ability to portray a tense and
powerful dramatic role with a skill
and an ability that are totally sur
prising.
The story concerns a young mar
ried couple who face that usually dis
rupting human element a flirtatious
siren. The man is prosperous and
susceptible and he falls. Then be-
gins the disillusionment of the d.
vorced man, watching his siren Slip
ping away toward another's arms. 1t
leads to the tragedy that Is inevitable
and the bitterness of death wipes out
the transgressions of the past. The
man, fed up on the husks OF pleasure,
turns toward his first love, his wife.

Bryant Washburn assumes the role
Of Rodney Martin, a college young
ster who faces the world with only
dads millions and thirty suits OF
clothes. A career in dads soap fac
tory is not at all to his liking but
the youngster might have been
brought under control II his father
had not hired his own stenographsr
to make a man of Rodney. Naturally,
these two young things fell in love
and their independence became ap-
palling. Rodney had to go to work
and a press-agent friend Of other days
supplied the idea. 1t was a foul trick
to play on dad-to wrap up his soap
in a fancy wrapper and raise the
price from q nickel to half q dollar
