Dorothy LBmour is seen as an American girl who has been reared in China by native foster parents.

Akim Tamiroff, portraying a world famous surgeon who worships science as a god, has been largely responsible for the young doc tor's success and firmly believes that a wife will destroy his pro. tege s career. The older man Intercedes to tell Miss Lamour that Howard has the makings of a great phy sician and if she loves him she must not see him again. The true scientist must remain wed ded to his work, he says. He cannot follow two paths, but must give himself to one or the other. But Tamiroff Is proven to have guessed wrongly.

His travels across turbulent war-torn China, his brush with death, and unforget table romantic sequences that follow are as powerful as they are timely. 4 Los Angeles Enjoys Summer Weather Los Angeles, Nov. 13.
