Ignorance ' of the misery and
heartbreak . she has sown en
route, the seeds of which are
sprouting all around her. The en
during patience of her devoted
husband, the accumulated hatred
of her affection-starved daugh
ter, are subordinated to her all
consuming vanity and conceit.
She allows her husband and
daughter to desert her, and with
the progression of the years
takes up with younger and
younger men.
A poignant, deeply-affecting
climax is reached when Job
Skeffington, Fanny's husband,
returns from Germany, broken
and blind after confinement in a
concentration camp.
"Eve of St. Mark" and "Last
Ride" are the two features on
the Rialto bill for today.

WITH.WALLET AND
VALUABLE PAPERS
Mrs. William Jacobs woke in
her 243 North Holly street apart
ment early Friday morning in
time to see a man dressed in
army uniform leaving through
the door leading into the front
hallway. The door had been left

leaps and quickly disappeared
He took with him a wallet con
taining a small amount of cur
rency and a number of valuable
papers, a key container and a
lack knife, which he had taken
from a dresser. Mr. and Mrs.
Jacobs have offered a reward
for return of the papers in the

may be found by someone if dis
carded by the thief.
