entitled ANY Wife," The film was
directed by Herbert Brenon, who

The story of Any Wife" was writ

the case of a woman possessed OF a
devoted husband and loving child,
and surrounded by every material COM
fort; yet who surrenders to the spirit
of discomfort because she feels her
life is too humdrum lacking in
social spice. This spirit, ever-increas-

alton as result of which her hus-
band casts her off, though she is really
innocent.
Despite this apparent tragedy the
story has a singularly happy ending,

an agricultural college, and while she
was receiving the agricultural and sci
