fans with an even more interesting Lawrence Tibbet! than he did in former swashbuckling characterizations.
This is strictly modern charne- |terization, Inld in the South of to-day, Romance and heart interest blend into
nighty dramatic situation, and Tibbett finds opportunity to sing haunting melodies of the South, one of his greatest concert numbers, and a love number that bida fair to be a. eluasic.
The story in the simple and direct jane of a prodigal who returns to an uristocratic family, and makes good in a startling altuntion that to dis- clore here would be to spoil when it is seen on the screen.

Esther Ralston plays the heroine, Antonia beautifully, and incidentally ista very charming figure in the spectacular jux hunt and other in the Metro-Goldwyn-
Kerblencer

A dominant figure, though Alminn- tive in stature, is Emma Dunn, who plays the mother and head of the family.
