TO CHILD
ABOVE ALL,
SAYS MARY
BY CAROLINE WALKER

LOS ANGELES, Aug. IL.
G.NS0 Against the dull grimy
leather of the witness chair,
Mary Aston turns her red head
feverishly. as sick people turn
in the early dawn.
Her eyes look at the ceiling,
at the floor, at the shaded court
room windows, even into the
shameless Stares of the crowds,
but almost never do they glance
at the counsel table where sits
DR.. FRANKLIN Thorpe, the father
Of the child for whom she Is
gambling her reputation.
DR.. Thorpe seldom removes his
glance from the slight figure in
the witness chair. Yet it is a
curiouSly impersonal glance.
Only the constant movement of
his jaws, as though he were
clinching his teeth tightly to-
gether, reveals the fact that his
feeling is not impersonal.
They are the principal figures
in this drama where a mother
and father are willing to smash
each others reputation in order
to secure the custody Of a child.
Little, minor things, usually
taken for granted, suddenly loom
into Importance.
Did Mary Astor ever take a high.
ball in the presence Of her child?
Did she ever serve drink to this
one and that one while the child
was near.
Sometimes she evades, some
times she parties skilfully, some
times she almost whispers, 81
don't remember; sometimes she
filings her definite Yes" or mo"
into the counsel's face as though
she were flicking him with her
words.
The court room audience has
curious air Of suspended iudg-
ment.
But in this drama, the audience
is not the judge. The people and
the circumstances will be weighed
and balanced by the cold imper-
sonal justice of the law.
