in

Both Miss Muchaill and Mr. McCres rforms with ease and convincingness their roles. Miss Mackill is un- doubtedly one of the finest actresses on the screen to-day, and in "Kept Husbands" she maintains her hurels, Joel McCren comparatively new to the films, in now well established as one of the finer young players. His role of the irked and unhappy husband whose wife pays all bills is splendidly accomplished.

Tastefully mounted and smartly produced, this Harlie Picture is an other triumph of production, following in the trail of such Radio triumphs as "Cimmarron", "The Royal Bed" and other recent successes.
