DO YOU LIVE
IN A BLACK HOUSE ?
In one out of every five homes, the
plot of Pathe's new serial is being
lived in real life right now. Were
those houses of unhappiness painted
black your street would have its
share. Would your house be among
them?
The theme is so broad, its ramifications
are so far-reaching that everyone is interested
in it. It remained for Mabel Herbert Urner,
America's most widely read author, to put
it into a story, so powerful, so absorbing, so
sympathetic, that it needed the screen to
adequately bring out its scope, its power.
PATHE places before your eyes the motion
picture serial THE NEGLECTED WIFE
RUTH ROLAND
the charming, the talented, the popular fav
orite, plays in it the best part of her career
that of the other woman.
TODAY
leading theatres everywhere will show the firs!
episode of this serial. Plan to win one of the tempt
ing cash prizes which will go to those who furnish
the best solution to life's leading problem.
Adapted from novels'by Mabel Herbert Urner.
