New Film Ethel Clayton’s latest~ Paramount Arteraft picture, “Young Mrs. -Win- throp,” will be the attraction at the Bismarck theatre for tonight. It is an entertaining story of young mar- ried life, telling of the estrangement of a youthful husband and wife and their reconciliation under dramatic cumstances. Bronson Howard wrote the play from which it was ; adapted. Ethel Clayton has the role of plea-” sure-loving Constance Winthrop. while Harrison Ford is the husband immersed in business. Their varying interests lead them apart, the sole connecting link being their five year old child, Rosie. The husband be- comes involved in an innocent, but shady looking affair with a Mrs. Dun- bar, who is bent upon revenging her- self upon Constance. The climax of the picture if the death of Rosie, which at first separates them still further, but Jater brings them-togeth- er through the action of a lawer- friend of both.
