METROPOLITAN.

'The Woman in the House." a new
film play built by Louis B. Mayer on
the world-old passions, was presented
to the public for the first time yes
terday at Crandalrs Metropolitan
Theater.
Since the triangle is human natures
national plot, and temptation is as
old as Eve. any original varieties in
these themes must depend upon indi-
vidual Interpretation Of their lights
and shadows. But parental love for
a little child is as fresh today as the
day itself-and it is this love which
represents the compelling force of the
play; a force very beautifully ex-
pressed by the woman in the house"
otherwise, Mildred Harris. A COM
panion picture of equal and even
more active devotion is contributed
by Ramsey Wallace, whose tense
concentration on his fight against
of the profession he has gone to for q
type.
The story has its opening in the
Canadian north. where a successful
and overworked young physician,
seeking rest in his yacht with a
cabin on the coast with her father

Romance is born with the meeting.
Marriage transports the girl to a
beautiful home in New York, but her
husbands absorption in his scientific
work makes her the target Of a. rich
idler, whose sole occupation is MAX
ing love to other mems wives. There
are many tense scenes in which faith
in her husband alternates with de-
fance Of his apparent neglect; scenes
in which the tiny son represents sc
much living sunshine and hope.
