The winsome personality of pretty Elaine Hammerstein again is in evi- dence in The Daughter Pays" the feature picture at Fox's the first three days of this week. From the story by Mrs. Bailie Reynolds, The Daugh- ter Pays" deals with the old problem of young girl marrying man older than herself but in an entirely new way. As a last resort to regain lost social and financial prestige the daughter marries the man, only to find that he has married her only to make her life miserable and thus re- venge himself on her mother who had years before tilted him. The in- tense hate the girl learns to bear fer her husband, his gradual meilowins under her scorn, his, great sacrifices that in the end she might live more happily and then-an entirely unex- pected ending. That, in brief, is the story. Norman Trever. star of ''Toby's Bow which had a great run in Nov York two years ago, plays opposite Miss Hammerstein. A Penrod con- edy, Episode 10, of Fantomas.
