It exploite, of course, the person- ality and physical charm of Jonn Crawford. It does this in a story of modern life, done with a new twist..

Pauline Frederick is the modern. mother who joins in the jollities of Paris with her daughter. It is the daughter's impassioned bofence of mother's peccadilloos to Neil Hamil ton that upsets the course of true romance, and sends our heroine into the arms "of the man-in-wait ing, Monroe Owaley, until the sur- prise climax.
