...revival of a well-known author's early works. Such is the case here, for only in snatches do we glimpse the vivid characterization, the excellent narrative ability so clearly shown in Joanna Godden and The End of the House of Alard. It is a bitter struggle for Raphael, widow- er, father, country clerk, when he finds himself in the throes, of an utterly unreasonable love for an utterly unreasonable young lady, turned gypsy, from London.

Richard Dix, with manly and yet inoffensive touch, depicts a War veteran, acclaimed as a hero, who has assumed the honors due a dead comrade. In China he meets the widow of his slain buddy, now any man's plaything. To discharge his debt, the hero decides to rehabilitate her by marrying her and discarding his own sweetheart, but she finds a knife is a better solution of their difficulties. Bebe Daniels is impressive in this tragic role, acting without the help...
