fascinating. tempermental prima
donna who has a decided flair for
men, bachelors and otherwise. comes
along. Mr.. Parrish surrenders his
conviction that marriage isn't the

that he may give Rita the attention
she demands. Miss Coventry treats
him alternately with warm feeling
gotten. though she never forgets:

Parrish every day, Mr.. Parrish slips
away to AtlantlC City Will Hiss
Coventry. There, of all places, Miss
Coventry meets a piano-tuner, and
Mr.. Parrish begins the long trek Into
oblivion.
He doesn't go. however. without a
struggle. The piano tuner, it is dis,
covered, is a remarkable pianist and
doesn't mind meeting rich young
bachelor at his own game. even If the
young bachelor does own two waist
coats. In the end, the piano tuner is
victor, and Mr.. Parrish goes forlornly
home to be convinced. by looking at
Alice's picture, that he has been d fool.
The title of the picture is Mr.. Par
rish's hot retort to the prima donna
when she tells him that once she loved
him, but he wasn't able to hold her
love.
The,work Of Jack Holt, Nita Naldi
as the prima donna, Agnes Ayers as
Alice Medium and Theodore kosloff
as the temperamental director of the
company in which Rita Coventry sings
is outstandingly good.
The piece reflects the admirable
standard in direction for which Will

to the screen by Clara Beranger.
