BEBE DANIELS CO-STARS WITH HUSBAND BEN LYON IN MY PAST'' AT THE
 STATE, TO.MORROXI

Bebe Daniels is captivating as the featured player in My Past" screen version of the sensational novel of the same name, which opened last night at the State theater. Also fea- tured are Miss Daniels lately ac- quired husband, Ben Lyon, and the sterling favorite, Lewis Stone.
 The latter plays the part of a business man who for years has whose profession takes her away from him for much of the time. The play opens when she has returned and is being entertained on the yacht of her Iniddle-aged lover, when his young business partner, played by Lyon, arrives, and at once falls vio- lently in love with her. The older man sees without malice the state of affairs. The wife of Lyon returns from abroad, finds him with the ac- 1tress and sails back to get a divorce, glad of a chance to marry another man. Lyon discovers the sorrow which the loss of Doree would be to Stone, and himself goes abroad. The real story begins here, and ends in a climax of moving and sensa- .tional beauty. Unusual and enthrall- ing from the first to last, My Past" warrants your every effort to see it.
 It is not alone the beauty of the story and the fine direction which makes My Past" so memorable. It is the true characterizations of the people who portray the parts. Lewis Stone, always sincere in his acting, seems to have d new note of pathos in his role of John Thormley, the middle-aged man who at last realizes that he must give up the woman whose love has been so much to him for many years, to the younger man who has won her love.
