In its population Of 1928, 205, a gain of

dence In defense of the womanis
divorce suit.
Between those two events there is
a triangle, but one in which there
is no violation of the spirit of 10y
atty. In fact, the chief development
of the plot is based upon a farewell
embrace which in itself furnishes
the evidence of family virtue--evi-
dence that the man and woman in
volved had every intention of honor
ing a supposed reconciliation of hus-
band and wife. The force of the
story is found III the attempt to
blacken a reputation by the use Of
that embrace as part of a plan to
manufacture evidence.
The talking picture presented de-
serves praise because Of the fine pho
tographic effects obtained and be-
cause of the snappy way in which
the successive incidents follow II
logical course without break or lack
of continuous interest. The scenes
are taken among the most striking
of the activities of the divorce mecca
and in the surrounding country re-
gions. They are pictured effectively,
and race by motor cars shows
many narrow escapes from disaster,
winding up with the plunging of
heavy auto into the river.
AS a story of divorce. Reno" has
the distinction of showing the whole
some side of an inevitable domestic
controversy based on tyranny, and
probably offers a new type of the
triangular story. A cast in which
several members show ability in de-
plotting normal qualities has been as
sembled. Conspicuous is the work
of Miss Ruth Roland as Felicia
Brett, the intended divorce. She
is continuously in the picture and,
with her young son, Bobby Brett
played by Douglas Scott, also with
ability, gives an occasional domestic
touch which relieves the intensity of
fear Of disaster. Miss Roland also
sings effectively.
About as clear-cut character of
the more brutal type as 1t would be
possible to find is that of Alexander
Brett, the husband, in which Mon
