the film version of Henry Kistermaecker's drama of the same name, and played by

the original Comedie Francaise caste

headed by

RAPHAEL DUFLOS.

The germ idea of the drama is that Instinct is stronger than Environment, and this is expanded into as beautiful

and touching a story as has yet been portrayed upon the screen. It deals with the loves of Dr. Jean Bernou and

Cecilia Cuernandez, and with the "instinctTM

to cure that saved the doctor from

the murder of the man who came

between."
