Tuesday tells a vitality interesting
story of a young Mexican girl who
assumes the identity of her deceased
friend. a pure-blooded white girl.

makes her home with the lifelong
friend OF the girls father, how he
falls desperately in love with her but

how they are ultimately brought to-
gether again, forms one Of the most
highly entertaining screen stories of
the day.

have a role particularly well-suited
to their Individual personality. The
direction is by Roy S. Clements. -~
