Charles Farrell
Marian Bcd Nixon are to be seen in the leading roles of the ploture, as the roman tio young sweethearts whose marri age is constantly frustrated by the opposition of their sentimestaj und selfish mothers. Rather than to go against their parents, wishes, they seek emotional relief in a blind trust in the future, that "After To-morrow," life promises to ve bright.
Minna Gombell, as the mother of Miss Nixon, is said to give the greatest performance of her screen career, in a characterization that call, for her to deny love for her own daughter, a performance which even surpasses her unforgetable Edna in "Bad Girl."' 'This con- flict arises from the fact that ahe is married to a week and ineffectual husband, played by William Collier, St., who has never been able supply her with the pretties de- manded by her vanity.
As Farrell's mother, Josephine Hull brings to the film drama the same role she created on the New York stage. Her duft impersona- tion of the comical yet, sometimes pitable little Mr. Piper, is reported as lending much of the human ap. peal and mirthful qualities which *After To-morrow" possesses. In the other important roles are Wil- liam Pawley, Ferdinand Munter and Nora Lane..

This debat, however, was when she was seventeen and has nothing to do with her entrance into talk ing pictures as a London stage star more than a year ago.
