THE Brand" Saturday

Rex Beach's newest photo-drama is
The Brand" presented by Goldwyn
Saturday, and in it the distinguished au-
thor returns to the field IN which he has
won his greatest success-the Alaskan
country. With cast which includes
Russell Simpson, Robert McKin and Kay
LAUREL, famous beauty of the Ziegfeld
"Follies," the play relates an absorbing
story. 1t concerns Dan McGill, who
comes back to civilization after some
years spent as hermit in the heart of
the Yukon country. Once poor, he is
now rich and his discovery starts boom
town. Among the wasters and derelicts
who drift there is Bob Barclay, gam
bier, and a woman. With them is child
Barclay forces the woman to flaunt her
self in the dance hall and in this evil
atmosphere the child is growing up.
A chance encounter brings McGill face
to face W tn the woman. Her tawdry
flnery does not disguise her. He recog-
nizes his wife, cast off years before when
McGill drove her out into the storm with
her lover, Barclay. She begs McGill to
help her to get away from Barclay and
when her husband refuses to interfere
she leads him to the sleeping child. This
does not sway McGill. What the woman
says to him then releases a torrent of
fury and brings about a typical Rex
Beach climax
