William Powell, whose place

His role Of Hugh Dawltry-suave

torceful portrayal. We see him first

lish girl, bound TO Cevl0n to marry
DR.. March.
Philippa is duly married to

and the promises Of Dawltry influ-
ence her.

her OF his own fickleness. 1t Is then
that the husband realizes what he
has done and the story sweeps to
q dramatic and unexpected climax.
Doris Kenyon plays the part Of
