AMUSEMENTS

THREE STARS To-night a Triangle Masterpiece, en! titled “The Sin Ye Do.” on un , written law, starring the great actot Frank Keenan. He is supported by three Triangle stars, Margery Wilson, Margaret Thompson, and Howard Hickman, who was the hero of “Somewhere in Franco,” The plot is unique and its pivot situation equals in intern* sity anything met with hitherto in the picture world. Hickman, discovering the hero in an equivocal situation with, his v> ifc says, “Tou hound, Is there any reaso n why I should not kill you? and the reply is “Yes. There is a girl in the Tombs accused of murder and I aid going to defend her. That girl is my daughter. Grant me the time for he* defence and I will make any reparation' that you demand.” “Too indulgent hus* band, too many idle moments, too flexible aiconscience, these form the ground of the terrible trap into which falls Margaret Thompson in her role of Mrs, Harrow in “The Sin Ye Do.” “It was the hand of God operating through the hand of an innocent girl.” This is how; the murder -.of Dace Whitlock is scribed in “The Sin Ye Do,” by FfmSi Keenan in the role of the astute lawyer Barrett Steele. He has manouvred a jury of married men and to them his appeal in favour of"what he calls “The Law of Decency” has greater force than the prosecutor’s “Thou Shalt nofi Kill. ”
