It is a sentimental comedy drama

turn, following the "Jazx" trend
of this reckless age, give slight
consideration to the gruelling
self-denial of their parents.
Charles "Buddy" Rogers, Peg
gy Shannon. Kicnara Bennett,
Charlie Ruggles, Frances Dee and
Frances Starr play the featured

ceptional talent.
Love greater than the desire
for fame and more powerful than
the fear of death is portrayed by
Charles Farrell, co-starred with
Madge Evans in "Heartbreak,"
thrilling Fox drama of romance
at Warner Bros. Capitol.
Briefly the drama dealt with
the romance of a young American
diplomat, Charles Farrell, and a
beautiful Viennese count ess,
Madge Evans, who meet and fall
in love during America's neutral
ity. Only the certainty of Amer
ica s being drawn into the world
war, then raging, prevents an an
nouncement of marriage.
With the declaration of war
comes many and intense conflicts
which keep interest high and the
play finishes with a thrilling Cli
max.

Hardie Albright. Paul Cavanagh,
John Arledge, Claude King, John
St. Polls, and Capt. Albert Conti
