A series of exciting and dubious events result in the girl be- ing forced to leave home and she de- cides to seck a career in New York. Her experiences there form the main theme of the picture, which discloses the many failurcs of those who scek careers in the great city, Scenes in Chinatown add to the lurid parts of the play, while the spice of Green- wich village adds flavor.

Glenn Hunter, who is starring in the Paramount screen version of Homer Croy's novel, “West of the Water Tower,” at the Palace theater now, himself selected the story as a vehicle for his debut as star in Para- mount pictures. Mr, Hunter's curiosity was aroused by the enthusiasm of the literary critics when “West of the Water Tower” was first published by Harper Brothers of New York, anonymously. He bought the book, read it, and at once wired to Jesse L. Lasky at Para- mount's West Coast studios. Al- though Mr, Hunter worked on the picture every day until time to ap- pear in his stage success, “Merton of the Movies,” he said that he enjoyed the experience, as he found the role of Guy Plummer a fascinating one.
