Stuart Blackton production adapted from Basil King's famous novel 0 f the same name, is the. most sensational, emotional exposition of the pitfalls of marriage and divorce that ever has been presented on the screen. It is a picture of beauty; the sets are lavish and there is an atmosphere of luxury that places the picture far in advance of any recently shown here. It breathes wealth and society, yet possesses the element of greatness in drama, human characters who live and suffer and are regenerated through the supreme sacrifice. Pauline Frederick and Lou Tellegen, two ! of the greatest emotional -players on the screen, have the leading roles, and are supported by Leslie Austen, Telena D'Algy, and. an all-star cast of players.
