Her dissolute husband has with his own hands killed their little child, and this tragedy induces Helena to listen to the pleadings of Lloyd Pryor to leave Paris and come to America with him. , Pryor makes frequent visits to Hel ena and the townspeople accept the statement that he is her brother. Old Benjamin Wright, however, has his own suspicions. His interest is more than a casual one, for his grandson. Sam Wright, is madly in love with Helena. The old man tells him his belief. Sam asks her whether the suspicion has any foundation, and when she admits that it nas lie Kins himself. Dr. Lavendar has in his charge a child who needs a home. He has do. cided to send the little boy. David, to Mrs. Richie for a trial visit. She welcomes the boy, who fills the place in her heart left vacant by the death of her child. Helena's husband has been in such feeble health, owing to his dissipa tions, that she has constantly ex pected his death to release her, so that she and Pryor can be married. Finallv the long-expected event hap pens, but Pryor has tired of her. He te s her that sue must give up uavia. She refuses and he tells her she must choose between the child and him self. ReaJunng Pryor a unworthi ness, she clings to die child. Helena e-oes to Dr. Lavendar, tells him the truth about her past rela tions with Pryor and asks him to let her keep the child with her always. The old man's answer is: "Can you teach him to telj the truth, you who have lived a lie?" Helena is silent in the face of this question. She de cides to give David up, and to leave. She tells Dr. Lavendar that on her way to the station she will come to bid David goodbye.

Warren and Virginia are engaged to be mar ried, but he decides before he takes this step that he will sow his final crop of wild oats, his favorite diver sion being chorus girls. Phillips objects to Warren's actions and he and Todd finally split on this score, both declaring that their child shall not marry the other. Warren and his father finally disagree and he leaves home. Meanwhile Todd has grown so grouchy it affects his health and his doctor tells him if he wants to live he must go to Arizona, and his heart finally does radiate as he gets a new hold on himself among the splendors of the Grand Canyon.

While the screen version of Shakespeare's celebrated tragedv loses much of its force and appeal as compared to either the book or the stage, still, from an entertaining standpoint, ' the classic contains enough interest and action to make it a feature of worth. The story it self is tragical. Murder and suicide are plainly in evidence and presented '" the regular Shakespearean style. The old medieval atmosphere has been carried through with perfect- ncss oi aeian. ine action is not found lacking in any respect. Space limits doing real justice t6 the cast, but the artists employed do much toward making this picture a success. Frederick Warde, polished actor of legitimate fame, plays the role of King Lear.
