objectionable Sin
Coming January I


Far North, pursuing his ayocation as
an explorer. Mrs. Parcot has hur-
ried overseas to Belgium to bring
back one daughter who has been
placed in a convent there. Dimny
Parcot (the lead in the picture, play
ed BY Blanche Sweet, who also ap-
pears as the other sister in several
parts Of the production) is alone in
the beautiful Pareot home. She re
ceives a letter from her loved ones
abroad letter that almost sends
her reason lettering from its throne
IA letter that tells her that invad-
ing soldiers nave committed against
both her mother and her sister ''the
objectionable sir"
The letter has been one last note
Of explanation-and a plea that
mother and sister be forgotten, a cry
that their disgrace be shielded from
the world.
With the letter carefully hidden in
a wallet, Dimny, half crazed with
grief and not figuring the difficult
ties Of the task she has set for her
self, sets out to find her loved ones.
Her train is delayed just outside
little town in the Middle West. A
chance travelling acquaintance offers
aid and, later as Dimny and her ac-
qauintance are walking through a
shaded street in the little village just
at dusk, the acquaintance, smitten by
Dimny's beauty, attempts to force
his attentions upon her. Dimny col
lapses; her reason flees. Only a
zephyr Of the breath Of life rema. gs!
Weeks later she RECEIVERS her
strength, both mental and physical,
to find that she has been nursed in
the home Of the Windsors.
Non Windstor. an undergraduate
at the college in the little town, has
learned to love Dimny. She tells him
her story-and torn between the fear
Of all men and the thought that she
may waver from her path Of chosen
duty, leaves the home without an
nouncement to continue on her jour
ney.
Soon after, young Windsor an
swers his governments call to serve
with Hoover's Belgian Relief Com
mission in the devastated country.
He arrives in Washington to secure
his passports and discovers Dimny,
who has been in the capital city for
some time, unable to continue her
journey for the reason that the gov
eminent has discontinued the issu-
ance Of passports to unmarried"
women. NoIl and Dimny effect a
marriage Of convenience, Dimny's
passports being securable in no other
way.
Upon their arrival in Belgium,
Noll, husband in name only, finds it
possible to do much to aid Dimny m
her search for her people. Together
they travel the devastated regions,
even penetrating the enemy country
for in those days the United States
had not entered the war.
A veritable pawn Of Fate, It is
Dimny's misfortune to encounter the
very beast who had ravished her sis
ter. When he sees the fresh young
girl from California, Colonel Klemm
mistakes her for the sister whom he
has.so shamefully treated in Belgium.
He is mistified-and his passion still
leads him on. Because he thinks
Dimny a SPY against him government
and because De wishes to possess her
again, as he thinks, Klemm hounds
Dimny and Noll everywhere they go.
Klemm is 'outwitted Dimny's
mother and sister are found, but not
before a second horror in her frail
young life has snapped the thread
that tied the little sister to earth and
butter disgrace.
Dimny, her mother, Noll and an
interesting little group o. refugees,
who have been made members Of the
party, are making mad dash for the
Holland border when a bullet sends
Mrs. Parcot close to the brink Of
death. When she RECEIVERS she takes
back to her husband in the States
only the story Of her terrible expert
ence.
Dinny and Noll find that their
marriage Of convenience" must be
re-enacted as a marriage Of neces-
sity''-necessary because both have
come to desire it.
