...this problem which provides the plot for "Journal of a Crime" at the Paramount and Fenway Theatres. Ruth Chatterton could be expected to appear only in that drama where the solution was "a desperate act." It is not fitting that she should adopt the simple formula of Dorothy Dix--"give your husband a little something to worry about." Miss Chatterton seizes a solution that would command the hearty approval of Oswald Spengler--she pulls the trigger on her rival...

Serious injury restores him to peaceful citizenship and she who taunted him finds happiness again in his arms, while planning for the acquisition of eight children. Elizabeth Allan is the feminine interest, or at least is intended to be, for again we have only the preview's word for it that there is any interest whatsoever in the picture. Miss Allan's face is squat, her acting...
