The cast is one of the best we've seen this year. As Laura, the gifted Barbara LaMarr reaches the heights of which she gave promise in *"Threo Musketeers" and "Trifling Women."

Jim's habit of econ- sistent saving, the aversion to any- thing but the washtub as diversion for his wife, have made Lanra yearn for the carefree butterfly life of the idle rich. Laura is determined to attend an artists' revel, and when Jim refuses obtains one on credit, intending to wear and then return it. At the party she is made much of by Blan- ton-Smith, '"Claribel's husband, al- though she dces not know who he is. His attentions cause her to flee the rarty, and she goes home to sleep late.
