The picture was directed by Henry ‘King, veteran director whose string of successes include “The White Sister," “Tol'able David” and “Stella Dallas.’ Miss Talmadge's second vehicle for United Artists has its locale on the Austrian-Russian border before: and during the World war. The earlier scenes reveal the star as a flashily- garbed girl whose beauty makes her @ conspicuous figure in the night- life of an Austrian city. She is loved by two men, former friends, whom the war makes enemies as well as rivals.

BORDEN, his wife and mother of his two children, who called for her monthly alimony check. Mrs. Borden comes in during the questioning and McMann mer- cilessly accuses her of the mur- der.

When search is started for a weapon, Ruth tells of the pistol in her desk. McMann looks for it but it, too, is gone.
