A somewhat different type of under
world picture, "a Romance of the
Underworld" adapted from Paul Arm
strong'S stage play of that name, is
presented at the Fox Theater this week,
featuring Mary Astor as Judith Andrews,
whose occupation seems to be gold
digging among the patrons of a ques-
tionable club for the benefit of its
promoters. With the shock of the news
of her mothers death, she apparently
awakens to the uselessneSs of her life
and her eyes are opened to its Sordid-
ness and cheapnesS, so she resolves to
earn her living in more respectable
manner. She becomes in turn a
laundress, waitress, a stenographer
and then the wife of her employer. The
husband, successful Steve Ransome,
knows nothing of the shadowy chapter
in Judith's life and with two years of
perfect happiness, a wonderful home
and baby, the unpleasant past seems
about blotted out when it suddenly con-
fronts her in the person of Derby Dan

blackmail. There are other interesting

Whereas the situations throughout

conversation drags. In the scenes
where the men are talking over old
times. the conversation no doubt gives
an idea of what has gone before. but
little less of the old-time stuff, and
