Fascinating and Unusual Story Of
Big Business Told in "The Mort

lips at the Colonial Today. Star
Has Remarkable Opportunity TO
Show Woman's Power Over Man
In these days of freedom for wom-
en- it seems almost incredible that
any Of the genIler sex could be
pawned. especially in a civilized city
like New York. But that is Just the
situation In which Gloria Carter. the
heroine Of The Mortgaged Wife
found herself. The story as told in
the special Jewel production with
Dorothy Phillips in the leading role
il one Of the most unusral ever
thrown on the screen.
Few women have ever suffered
the beautiful Gloria. The first hard
knock of fate came when she learned
that her husband was a thief Then
came the disconcerting -proposition
that the president OF the bank where
her husband worked and which he
had robbed had been one OF her most
ardent suitors. Through tears of
CONSERVATION. rage, betrayed virtue
and utter hopelessness, she saw n
her hand a prnmissory note for the
amount her husband had stolen and
in the lower left-hand corner. under
the heading Of collateral. her own
name with the short memorandum !:
TO be held until redeemed"
But worst of all. her craven t1us-
band. on his knees. urged her to ac-
cept the humilia1ing condition. With
a last vain hope in her heart that
her husband would redeem the note.
collateral for horor's sake
What she did in this most unusual
position is the theme Of the drama.
