or a session between father and son
when MacLean, Jr.. told MacLean, Sr..
that he was going to try acting for a
while. Everything was settled peace-
iu.i, iiuwever, Decause Douglas assured
his father that his historic career would
be brief.
The three months grew into three
years and still Douglas MacLean
thought that next month or perhaps
the one after that would find him back
in Philadelphia selling bonds. Then
he tried the movies just as he tried the
etagfe, and he is now, after several
years of camera acting, thinking that
some time perhaps he will return to
the stage. As to bond -selling? Never
again.

The Ftory is a highly dramatic one,

the wedding, and the nuptials as por
trayed in the picture is magnificently
elaborate.
Following the ceremony, the man
hurriesup to tho room of his bride,
supremely happy as a bridegroom
should be. He opens ' the door and
stands petrified with amazement, for
the bride, still wearing her veil and
gown, is clasping a little boy to her
breast.

girl, too happy to try to shield her

them to the public at the lowest pos

are right.
