characters representing broad social
types. There Is John, at whose coun-
try house 1t all takes place. the type
of the money-worshipping man of af-
fairs. There Is his wife Lucy, horrible
example of the crushed victims of the
monster, matrimony. There Is lux
ury-spoiled sister who is finally spared
a loveless marriage with a loose-lived
son of millions. And the church and
the law are duly represented in the
forces Of convention and conserva-
tism.
To these are added the delightful
young couple whose revolt is the
theme of the drama Helen is another
sister of John, but her heart Is In
science and advanced ideas, and she
loves Ernest, the noble young bacteri-
ologist, IN whose laboratory she as
sists. Anyone In any way connected
with John could scarcely help holding
morbid views about matrimony so
she naturally reaches the point where
she decides firmly that no mere me
dieval incantation" can add to the
holiness of her union with Ernest
Ernest's views are sympathetic. but
his conduct is entirely to his credit.
The Mortified relatives plot desperate
ly to forestall The impending scandal,
and in the end succeed through a de-
vice as ingenious as it is pointed and
appropriate.
All this and not a word of Nat
Goodwin is too much. But It is
enough to say that this excellent old

a picture dealing with intense situa-
tions involving a murder of which she
is wrongfully accused. At the be-
ginning she is acquitted OF the muir
der of her husband. The jury in
rendering its verdict has disap-
pointed public sentiment for its fail
ure of finding the defendant guilty
and at this juncture two important
roles appear, one the newspaper re-
porter who endeavors to trail another
clue that may find the real murderer.
and the second a philanthrOpist and
reformer who is interested in the de-
fendant. The reformer has grown to
love the defendant but COinCidentaly
and unfortunately the newspaper re-
porter duplicates him i'm connection
with the murder and here the situa-
tion deepens and in the end the real
slayer is brought in and made TO con-
fess, consequently the story is COM
