 The film, adapted from the sen- sational drama of family life by Rose Franken, shows Miss Hayes and Montgomery as Q pair of new lyweds who find the honeymoon Is over when the husbands ineffei- tual relatives take charge of their domestic affairs. Miss Hayes is magnificent in her role and Mont- gomery's performance leaves little to be desired. They are a great team together and apparently meet with the unbounded approval of the audience.
 Included in the cast are Louise Closer Hale, John Beal, Henry Travers, Margaret Hamilton, Will lard Robertson, Irene Cattell. Minor Watson, Hal Dawson and Maidel Turner.
 The picture has dramatic cli- max when the young nephew falls in love with his new aunt. Her husbands neglect brings about this daring situation which eventually embroils the entire family.
