The wife, who married solely for the husband’s wealth and social posi- tion, has been clever enough to convince his unsuspicious parents- that she is an ill-uesd but loyal wife to their son.

With a cast of superb actors, headed by Lionel B: rrymore, this simple story of an old grandfather I who desperately fights death to 1 prevent the young grandson he i adores from fa'ling into the clut-' chas of an unscrupulous aunt, takes on all the attributes of a screen classic. Barrymore was never finer us the lovable, outspoken Gramp, a characterization which is a gem even among his outstanding roles. The featured cast matches up to Barrymore’s lead in every instance, Sir Cedric Hardwicke as the mys- terious stranger, Mr. Brink, per bonification of death, presents an unforgettable portrait which is uni que in the newness of its concep tion. Never a weird, macabre per- sonâîLy, Mr. Brink is shown as a benign and tolerant individual who has far more to offer mortals than they anticipate. It is a thought provoking imagery which gives the key to the entire production. i SMART MONEY KNOWS WHERE TO 4 GO AFTER \L READING a THE ADS.
