'• It concerns tho love affair of a wealthy man.vwho has an unhappy knack of interesting himself in chorus girls, who. with tho help of tho wealthy man's own lawyer, invariably bleed him for "breach of promise" money. This happens so often that this lawyer persuades him to philander with married women, but was qulto unprepared for tho turn of events which niado his own wife tho first intended victim. But tho lawyer's wifo has her own ideas and believes that "thrco's company," tho third person proving to bo an old pal, and as fate would have it, a chorus girl. The latter impersonates the wife, but neither the wealthy man nor his lawyer aro in tho joke. Alice Day is the chords girl pal, whilo Matt Moore plays tho rolo of tlio lawyer, with Lilyau Tashman as his wife. Edmund Burns is tho character who finds love making an expensivo pastime. Two gazettes, a cartoon, and a comedy arc also screened, and delightful music is supplied by tho orchestra..
