NEW THEATRE PICTURES

"COMPROMISED." TO-NIGHT & TOMORROW. Efforts of a wealthy father to break up the marriage of his son to a servant girl of questionable ancestry are the motivating' forces in "Compromised," now being played at the New Theatre. Ann is a slavey in a workingmen's lodginghouse in a New England mill town—and in addition, is forever reminded that her mother was not just wha she should have been —and that her father is unknown. The star boarder is young Sidney Brock, who holds a humble job in his dad's factories to learn the business. Ann's worship of him is from a distance. When Connie Holt, the rich girl breaks their engagement, Sidney gets drunk. Ann is helping him to bed when the boarding-house mistress taunts her with her mother's past. To protect the girl, Sidney says they are to be married. And that is the beginning of the tense and moving romance which holds the attention from the moment two appear on'the screen to the last glimpse of them. "Compromised" is delightfully different.
