Here Is a mother picture, a film epic which Is a masterpiece of screen craft, a mother love story literally torn from a page In life. "Woman and the Law" is the title of a play which will be shown for four days at the Liberty theater commencing Sunday. It very faithfully ketches the history of a recent sensational affair that rocked American society and furnished front page news for many months. The case whs dramatised by It.

A. Walsh and moving picture theater goers need no Introduction as to his masterly style of depleting the real.

Every man nnd woman In America who reads the ncwapapers Is familiar with the famous lie Saulles eaae -was shocked and thrilled by this drama In real life. Nothing since the Thaw rase has created such a furoi'e.

Young Jack soon tired of his beautiful wife and dlselpaied her wnaiin III debaudhery and broke her heart. The name of a famous dsncer, Joan Sawyer, became associated with that of Jack lie Saulles. In due time came the Inevitable divorce, with all the mother love of the little Chilian beauty centered In her babe. Then came a day when the father asked to have little Jack spend the day with him. The request was gr'anted.

reluctantly and In fear. When evening came and the boy had not returned, the mother feared the worst. She hastened to the ln Saulles home and was brutally told that she could not have the child. Then the Intense strain upon the little mother told something ensnped in, the little woman: bruin. She shot her former husband, killed him to regain her child.

The Jury's verdict indicated that 12 men believed her Justified, for they voted "Not guilty." Such briefly Is the story. Suppose Mrs. Jack lie Saulles herself could have Interpreted for the screen the agonies of her own heart In the "Woman and the Law." It would have been won derful but no more Intensely pictured than the woman who playa this role. There are reasons why her Identity can not be revealed. So we will leave It to you.

i ncre has never oerore been offered to theater-goers in Honston a screen drama that boosts of such an opportunity for exploitation. It can be aafely predicted that this heart gripping offering from rfcal life will break all previous house records of the Liberty theater.
