Patsy Ruth Miller, elevated to star- dom, after being a featured player for vears, plays the role of Jude the mountain girl who, while 'r sweetheart is away in France, Is under the spell of a young camp- meeting convert. The sweetheart comes back and finds the backwoods religionist a tough competitor for the girl's affections. He is “hell bent fer heaven,” anything he wants to do he believes heaven has commanded him to do, and, under that obsession, pro- niotes a quarrel between the sweet- heart and Jude's brother that revives a 50-year-old feud. The climax of the story, when Rufe explodes the dam, which was neces- sarily left to the imagination in the play, forms the great scenic climax of the picture.
