The story concerns a feud between two brother*, one stern; and religious,' the other .wholly evil, a 'feud that, travels .its devastating course down, the avenue _of twenty, odd years; and through many Eves. It divides a, town into two. parts, each presided over by one of the brothers with his own concept of what is right./ Opposite Mayo, Molly Malone gives • a captivating performance in the role of the,girl.who is.' lost, found, claimed by several persons and ; finally saved from a third kidnapping by.the young son. The supporting feature is "The Girl in,the Rain," in' which. Ann«| Cornwall is starred. It is a drama <>i romance,and adventure, in...
