while they believe her fortune intact, but 'when It la announced that the girl's uncle has committed suicide because of the- loss of money, they quickly pack up and leavo the Morton country home, where Betty had been entertaining them. t But the uncle bad shot himself irith a blank cartridge and had arranged for the rumor to be given out that fcn aA iftat his entire fortune. The

effect on the two foreigners is just

what he expected. But another suitor, who has managed to learn about tho plot, sympathises with Betty and proposes to her, and she, in order to help her uncle as miih M nnsaible accents him. This

The picture is a dramatization of the story Marcene, written by Penelope Knapp, which created a sensation. Marcene is a character that appeals directly to the sympathies. This pathos of the virgin-hearted girl who

gave all to tne man sne tovea,

branded as a scarlet woman by a narrow-minded and bigoted woman who tried to brutalize her sensitive nature and break her spirit, and was driven to attempt self-destruction. Is overwhelming. One of the most intense and complicated situations conceivable Is achieved when the father of her child, believing she is dead, returns with hid wife, her own sister, and learns that Mkrcene is still alive. He does not

tell Marcene that he is married. Torn with in anA nftv for tha tinfortnr.ate

girl, determined to right the wrong he

happiness came too late ior tne poor little "broken butterfly, for death has stalked in. "Wa mh ilamln tha flaah taut not

i plays are noted for their human

"punch, their graphic delineation of life dramas, and It Is doubtful if any one of them more surely Justifies itself by its deep sincerity than "Just a Woman." From its expressive title to its sympathetic solution is a vital problem story of everyday people. Anna Ward is typical of the hundreds of women, who. In spite of neglect and abuse, sacrifice all for Veal or imisinary haDDiness of those whom

! they love.

"Just a Woman" Is a money-maaer for wise exhibitors and a treat for their patrons. Its human interest and vivid production will impress and entertain all who see it.
