WIFE WAS JEALOUS
OF AN UNSEEN MAN
WOMAN, DEAF AND BLIND,
SUSPECTED HER DEAF AND
MUTE HUSBAND.

Jealous of husband she never had
seen, whose voice she never had
heard, and to whom she never had
spoken of the love that had endured
through Is years OF varying fortune,
Mrs. Diana Moore, 40 years old, deaf
and blind CROPPED her way through the
eternal night of her ward in hospital
at Omaha, Neb., and threw herself
through a second story window to de-
stroy forever the remaining two senses
which induced her jealousy.
Her husband, John Moore, is also a
deaf mute, and only by the tears that
course down the furrowed face to the
silent lips, and the labored penciled
sentences, can he tell the story OF the
emotion that had caused his wife to
take her life.
Wife Was Always Jealous.

she never had cause. | am home

Sometimes at night said officials
of the home, Mrs. Moore would be-
come so agitated that it would be nee
essary to lead her through the wo-
mans ward so she could feel for her
husband and know he was not there.

ADJUSTMENTS
STRONG CHARACTERS MARK
NElLAN'S hob HAMPTON
OF PLACER"
James kirkwood, Wesley Barry,
Marjorie Daw and Pat O'Malley
Have Chief RnIea

One OF the outstanding features Of
Marshall Ncilans spectacular pictur-
ization of the Randall Parrish novel
Bob Hampton of Placer" is said to
be the striking characters of the story
depicted on the screen by one of the
most popular casts ever assembled in
4 Ncilan film.
The period Of the story, dealing as
it does with American frontier life in
1876, allows for unusual characteri-
cations. In the title part, James
kirkwood is given a role that it is
expected will stand out for some time
to come. Bob Hampton" a man of
iron, yet with many human charac-
teristics, is pictured by the author in
a way that few heroes are presented
to lovers of fiction. Surrounded with
a certain air Of mystery, this part
lends itself well for screen picturiza-
ton as it carries with it that sus-
pense which goes to make up SO much
L OF a films success.
Wesley "Freckles' Barry, as bow
legged youngster of the plains, over
loaded with regalia Of the cowboy and
and worshipping partner to Bob"
is a character unknown to the read
ers of the book, for it has been in
troduced into the film by Mr. Neilan
with the purpose of tightening up the
heavy dramatic trend Of the story.
On his closely cropped head Wesley
carries the scars" Of mule hoof
and other marks Of former conflicts
with four footed animals that he had
hoped to tame.
Another character that is expected
to stand out is that of RED Slavin."
portrayed by Noah Berry. A villain
whose appearance would indicate him
to be a careless. slovenly individual
with a slip-shod mind, but whose real
inner character is that of quick
witted, scheming scoundrel who stops
at nothing to accomplish his purpose.
This part, Mr.. Berry believes, allows
him to portray his best work.
Marjorie Daw as the quaint miss of
the frontier in period costumes, dis
closes that refreshing something that
adds to the beauty of all scenarios.
AS silent Murphy" Frank Leigh is
afforded a role that will, is is expect
ape man in go and Get It."
Other important parts that are ex-
pected to help make this film partic-
ularly notable for his remarkable
characters are those of Lieut.. Brant.
by Pat O'Malley; the historical Gen.
eral Custer. by Dwight Crittenden:
