The story opens not with Or. Jack,

Eirl' whose father had Tor tho

three trained nurses. The sick little
well girl had been taught that she was

there ~ the table along side Of him
was Dr. Won Saulsbourg and his pa

fall IN love Immediately. Tho title

The story involves Johannes Kreis-

loves-Julia, an ingenue; Euphemia. a
grand duchess, and Donna Anna, a
vocalist, all Of them played bashfully

undertaking seems 20 be a pea in 4

~ those books which have given US
thrill every time we havo read II since
Booth Harrington wrote II some ten
wears ngo. and we had hoped 20 have
many moro thrills from the same
source. We arc putting IL mildly when
we say that the picture gave us no
thrill. The fault is more In the adap-
tation than m the casting, and We think
thnt Hobart Henley. the director, IL
blsmeless. The direction could not be
improvcd upon. The trouble is that
whoever adapted it did not know Mr..
people In the least. In
the first place, tho adapter has cast
them I'm an entirely different stratum OF
society. No one could doubt after
reading the book that Cora and Laura
were beautifully educated, well-bred
girls. The Madisons we're poor, COM
paratively so; but Cora, We feel sure,
would no more have hirted with two
strange men in a. drug store, as she
docs in the picture, than she would
have committed suicide. She was 90
obvious and so common on the screen
Where was the daintiness, the breed

gave 20 his herolnel And Laura Mr..
described Laura ~ very
beautiful and only overshadowed In the
presence or her radiantly lovely sister
