Ralston und Gary Cooper in "Half a. Bride." The film is an in- triguing study of modern fast living and its antithesis. The... story moves from the gilded ball- rooms of the wealthy, through the sordid underworld pleasure dives, to the lean deck of an ocean- going yacht, and then the in- triguing setting of a desert island. A silent film.

The picture cele brates Miss Davies' first venture into pure comedy, and proves her to be one of the screen's most talented comediennes. As Tillie, a thoughtless and frivolous steno grapher who wreaks havoc in business, Miss Davies is excellent A silent film.
