In book form, the story enjoyed enormous' vogue, being hailed as one of the most striking novels of young and pretty woman tied down the past decade. It deals with a

to an unlovable curmudgeon, who is an invalid and needs constant care. As a result the woman is deprived of all the joys and riches held by life, and feels youth slipping away till she meets the man of her heart.

In casting the players, directors Jack Conway and producer Harry Rapf sifted and considered every star of note to get true characteri- sations, Monte Blue and Irene Rich were the pick.
