three complete plays In one, each cpl
sode having . separate cast and

gether through the connecting link Of
q great diamond.
The adventures Of great diamond

In the African mine. its theft for the
love Of woman. its temperance in
New York society. and finally, through
theft, In the underworld.
The first episode takes place In the

miner. lured by pretty half-caste
girl, steals 1t, sacrificing his life for
her. In this sequence Lena Malena,
the fiery little Bucharest dancer. is
the heroine. and Charles Stevens the
native thief.
In the society episode Conrad Nagel,
Gwen Lee and John Roche head the
list Of players-Nagel and Miss Lee
as married couple, and Roche as
the home wrecker who introduces the
sinister diamond into the household.
