Bushman is
supported by a strong cast, including beautiful Beverly Bayne as Lady
Hermione.
Those who have witnessed the photo-play production will find the book
even more intensely interesting. The hero, John Delancy Curtis, drops
in from Pekin, China, for a brief rest from strenuous engineering work,
and on his first night in New York finds a marriage license in the
pocket of a murdered man's coat, rushes off in a taxi to the address of
the woman named therein, marries her, punches a frantic rival on the
nose, flouts her father (an English baronet), takes the fair one to a
hotel, holds a banquet at which the Chief of Police of New York is an
honored guest, and sits down to gaze contentedly into the future of
bliss that a half a million a year will bring.
We bespeak for the reader pleasure, entertainment and diversion in this
absorbing and unusual story.
