EMPRESS, NEWTON
Norma Shearer, in a penetrating study of present-day social standards called “Their Own Desire,” is the particularly effective screen fare offered at the Empress Theatre, Newton. Miss Shearer’s new all-talking vehicle was adapted from the novel by Sarita Fuller, which tells the story of a girl whose happiness came dangerously near frustration through the machinations of a father who had grown tired of his wife, and sought diversion in other quarters. While “Their Own Desire” is not exactly a phase of the “sins of the fathers” idea, it gives a clear-cut picture of the effect of parental incompatibility on children, which in itself is something rather novel for screen
