Before he en- tered the world of motion pictures, he was one of the best known actors in the country.

Without in the slightest degree be- ing guilty of straining for effect or overacting, Mr, Farnum depicts suc- B ely and with pellant effect the changes in Morrow from a carefree, ambitious young man, with a great political future be- fore him, to the almost tragic scenes in which Morrow learns that he him- sclf is one of the depised race.

Too few look at any piece of equipment they are asked to buy with a cold business-like eye and consider “Will this be a paying investment?
