author much opportunity for clever
and witty lines. thooxh there 10 no
denying that there are many "blus"

able subject for true farce.
IL Is all about q young couple who
have been denied q child, and who
have made up their minds to adopt
one. The wife's brother. an author,
has just written a book on euEenics
and he persuades them that IL would
be dangerous TO pick out n child about
whose proEenitors they know nothing.
He suggests that they pick out the
parents. pay them suitably. and adopt

scientific experiment" All goes mer-

give up her child. even for Sl5.eoo.

Miss Talmadge's depletion of the d.

marked by extraordinary deftness and
complete understanding OF the
variety OF expression necessary to
achieve a well rounded characterize

scarcely more to be CONNIE nded than
the exceptional portraitures contrib
uted to the ensemble by Pedro de Cor

Holmes and others OF the stellar cast
filmed in Miss Talmadge's support.
