It deals with the tem- ‘porary rift in the domestic felicity of a young American couple, caused by the girl's desire to go to Paris to study art. 1 In Paris she finds romance in the person of an ardent Latin who' poses both as an apache and a nobleman—and turns out to be |neither. What she does when her husband comes to Paris with a girl whom he intends to marry as soon as the divorce law allows, forms the basis for all sorts of hi- larious complications. Walter Scott plays opposite Miss La Plante. Scott, who is one of the most promising of the younger actors on the screen, has already made a name for himseli in stock and musical comedy. The cast also includes Eugene Borden and Mildred Van Dorn. to make “WOLF SONG” COMING SOON TO COLIS “Keeping watch over Lupe Valcs is the motion picture task which is assigned to Ann Brody, a spe- cialist in character roles for the films.
