Once again Geraldine Farrar ac--
quits herself magnificently in Gold
wyn picture. Her fourth Goldwyn ap-
pearance is made in THE Stronger
Vow" which comes to the Washing
ton theatre, beginning Wednesday.
Geraldine Farrar is Dolores de Cor
dova, one of the last of a Spanish
family that Is at war with the house
of Estudillo. She is seen among the
gay jewellers at an Easter carnival in
Lerida, chatting with handsome
stranger, to the annoyance of Pedro
Toral, who seeks her hand in mar
rage. Enraged by the smiles she
bestows upon the stranger, Toral or
ders her brother, Jose, to take her
away. Jose resents the others inter
ference and the pair come to blows.
That night Jose is stabbed to death
and Toral is the first to find the body.
Suspecting that the stranger is an
Estudillo, Toral schemes to have him
accused of the murder. So convincing
is Torals tale that Dolores takes the
blood VOW to ayenge the killing. Her
search for the slayer leads to Paris,
where she weds the Marquis de Va
lera. After the ceremony Toral shocks
her with the news that she has mar
ried her brothers murderer Do
lores' refusal to carry out the blood
VOW results in her capture by band
of Apaches. How she frees herself
from the outlaws furnishes thrill
ing climax in which Toral is revealed
IS the murderer.

II all started at the Purple Gondola
restaurant where Arthur McArney had
gone at the invitation of his friend,
Bick Olsen. Both boys were clerks,
and at the restaurant they met Elsa
OweD5on, a pretty, pert stenographer.
At the meeting McArney fell in love
with her, but as his salary was small
ne had to prod himself along to think
OF ways of getting enough money to-
gether to take the extrayagant Elsa
out to dinners and dances.
The effect this has on him is to
stimulate mis- ambition and make him
forge ahead in his work, while as for
Elsa, the moment that McArney asks
her to marry him all her extravaganza
disappears as If by magic, for the man
she is going to marry must save
money.
This story makes delightful screen
vehicle for Bryant Washburn in The
Way of Man With a Maid his sec
ond Paramount picture, which will be
shown at the Murray theatre next
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,, and
Wanda Hawley gives charming I'M
PRESERVATION of the little stenographer.
Jay Dwiggins, Billy Elmer, James Ne
i'll. also are in the cast. You know
them all if you're a film fan, for their
work is famous in Paramount and Art
craft pictures, as three of the clever
est character actors before the public.
Billy Elmer has done excellent work
in Paramount pictures starring Vivian
Martin, Charles Ray and Enid Ben
nett. In The Way of Man With
Maid" Elmer appears as hard boiled
taxi driver, Dwiggins is a stodgy little
broker, who is in love with pretty
young girl and James Neill is an lrate
father. A wonderful combination or
character talent.
