The title is some what of a misnomer and ratucr obscure in meaning, but the picture itseif is oi. absorbing interest, and one wliicn carries with it a deep conviction. It is a story of love, or disillusion, oi hopes buried and ideals crushed; a story, too, of sacrifice, of devotion, ol unselfishness. It is a story of three men and a woman who loved them all, each in a different way, each in nis turn; but only one ol wnom loved her. Less than 48 hours before her marriage, Barbara Btanwyck sees her fiance killed by the husband of a woman with whom he has been having an affair. What tered in body, mind and spirit, sne llecs blindly to the mountains to brood. There she meets Ralph Morgan, wno, by his honesty and strength of charac ter, gradually imbues her with frosh faith. She agrees to marryihim on tne condition that, honesty, rather than love shall guide their home, as she relieves she will never love again. Jusi when things are perfect, however, does fall in low, and the story has a human appeal in working out lor the best. The supports include a “Looney Tune Cartoon,” a comedy, a “Believe It or Not” novelty, and an all-’L'ech-nicolour cartoon based on the popular song, “J’op Goes Your Heart.’’
