In this photoplay, Wallace Reid portrays the role of a wealthy clubman whose hob- by is the investigation of crime in which he is exceptionally clever. He learns of a supposed murder-in a mysterious house and with a hatpin and purse as the sole clews to the perpetrator of the crime, he begins his inguiry. Naturally, there are numereus complicating, thrilling in- cidents in the unraveling of the mys- tery, but he does his work artistically and his reward is love of a woman who figures largely in the story. The picture is based upon a novel by Elwyn Barron and the scenario was written by Margaret Turnbull. The director was Donald Crisp of “Ro- mana” fame.

Soldiers enter the hospital with faces smashed beyond recognition. Very few visitors are admitted, and most of the men would rather die! than meet their friends and relatives. Doctors and nurses work untiringly , in their efforts to repair the ravages of’ shrapnel and high explosives, so that sooner or later their patients can face the world without causing be- holders to shudder in horror. Often the treatment takes months, and men who are perfectly sound physically just hide themselves away there until their faces assume some semblance of God's image.
