The World and His Wife IS
first of all an indictment against cir
cumstantial evidence. It's the story
of a Spanish man OF some financial
power who married a wife much
Younger than himself. The young
wife loved her husband, and was
loyal and true 10 him throughout.
But a young artist went to live with
the couple and Immediately the
tongues Of the goSsips began 10 wag.

husband were not lacking. The up
shot of the affair was that a duel
was fought IN which the husband
was killed. Then, after surmount-
ing all sorts anG kinds OF obstacles.
the Young wife and artist were mar
ried.
The picture is produced with all
the dash and color and glamour OF
Spain and the Old World. The pic
