Edward Everett Hale's mother
was a very reasonable woman.
The story is told that a month
after Everett had started attend
ing the Boston Latin school he
received his report card and,

in his class of Is boys he stood
ninth. What would his mother
say?
Everett dreaded to think Of It.
But

when he gave her the card for
inspection. Probably the other
boys are brighter than you. God
made them so, and you cannot
help that. But the report does
say that you are among the boys
who have behaved well. That's
something that you can see to,

The lure of a woman's CHAINS so
irresistible that marriage VOWS and
family ties are swept away before it,
passion, tragedy and vengeance so~in-
tense that even death cannot settle
the score have made Of "Earthbound'
a drama so powerful. SO mystifying.
so breath taking in its intensity as to
oyershadow all motion picture achieve
ments of the past. 1t is not to be
wondered at therefore that this master
Goldwyn film, produced from the
story of Basil King, caused such a
stir among New York dramatic crit
les during q recent run at the Astor
theater.
"Earthbound," which comes to Great
Falls early next month, has plot that

ever has done, a mans struggle
against a woman's seductive charms;
his futile efforts to resist; the ven
geance of his closest friend, whose
confidence he had betrayed by robbing

ishment, so drastic as to carry the
story of the play even beyond this life
before his regeneration is achieved.

range from home in the Arkansas
mountains to the grim cells OF mod
crn penitentiary. VIII II. Gould and

tons, which will be interpreted by
