rhis is no ordinary "come-back,”
’or Lillian returns from Death.
She fell down a flight of stairs

j tion coming to the Llitmas Theatre
for throe days, beginning tomorrow
is a Goldv.'-n release, entitled "For
Those We .Love.’ The story, writ
ten by Perley Poore Sheehan, was
directed by Arthur ltosson.
In this picture Miss Compson will
be seen as a simple country girl, too
unsophistk ited to know the dangers
sho runs in befriending one of the
evil characters of tlie town. How
ever, lier unguarded faith is justi
fied by the change that her friend
ship effects it. his lift. The unprin
cipled gamt ler realizes that every
one is not spurred by the same mo
tived of gain that have led him and
his companions on their precarious
ways.
Of course, he falls In love with the
girl, who has never felt other than
friendly towards him. VVith the real
ization tha; she is beyond lilm, the
real test o' his character is made.
With Lon Chaney as the gambler and
Betty Compson as the girl ill love
with another, the story of "For
Those We Love,” develops through a
stirring series of incidents to a logi
cal conclusion.

They were brother*. One wa
cruel and i',:. oonest, the other gentl
and honest. The latter was incapn
bi* of expressing love, due to hi
inhale modesty, with the result thii
the other won the girl whom bot
desired.
Then into the lives of all thre
came sorrow, disillusionment an
despair, brought about through th
vicious machinations of the ev
brother.
This is a brief outline of “Wome
Who Wait,” the rugged melodrant
of the sea which comes to the Cret

the picturesque backgrounds of
Cape Cod fishing village, it recori:
sraphic and powerful suspense.
Today's show a'so gives the cit
zens of the city an opportunity t

She was the toast o£ many a gay
gathering 111 the days before the ac

Ziegfcld Midnight Hoof and In the
Follies.
And now she plays on the stage
the part that once was hers in life,
but her frivolity is as thin as her
make-up. I talked to her off stage.
"f am thankful to God for saving
mo from that death in life," she
said. "My leisure time and money
hereafter shall go to charity, to
those helpless ones who were not so
fortunate a« I.” ,
