The companion feature for this program is ‘“Marriage License" with Alma Rubens. “Marriage Li- cense” is a tensely dramatic story of the life of a beautiful Canadian and her unhappy marriage to the son of an aristocratic English house leaves little to be desired in the way of real dramatic quality, suspense, action, quaint humor and subtle characterizations. Alma Rubens gives one of the finest characterizations of her ca- reer in the feature role, appearing first as a lovely young bride and later as a well poised woman, proud of her achievements and prouder of her son.
