The outstanding feature of the picture is the courage displayed by a woman, who overcomes- all obstacles in spite of tremendous difficulties. Paid by a millionaire the sum of 100,000 dol lars to divorce Mb son, she causes much sensation when she remarries her divorced husiband. The scenes throughout are realistic and convincing, and pretty Muriel Ostriche is seen to great advantage. The third chapter of "The Iron Claw" was shown, and held the interest of the audience with a grip as powerful as the title of the master serial. Tonight will be the final screening of the programme.
