Some of the humor would have been more effective if brought in with better dramatic appeal and shortening to five reels would no doubt have helped. Cast.

By Clara S. Beranger and Forest Halsey. Photographed by Max Schneider. The Story. Damophilia Illington is the daughter of an aged Greek scholar in "Phil-forShort." The girl is forced to do work in the garden in overalls in order to support her father, whose learning has brought him no wealth. "Phil," as she calls herself, is subjected to criticism because of her unconventional apparel. Just after her father's death, Donald McWrath, the village banker, assumes guardianship over Phil, whom he really wishes to marry. The girl flees from the village, accompanied by Pat Mehan, an old employe of her father's. Phil, while a runaway, dresses as a boy and chances upon John Alden, who teaches Greek in a nearby college. Alden is attracted by the supposed youth, because of his knowledge of Greek, and invites Phil to call on him. The latter then dresses as a girl and applies for a position as assistant teacher of Greek at the college. She pretends to be a sister of the youth who talked with Alden. Alden has been jilted in a former love affair and hates the fair sex, but in the course of the story Phil marries him, or Alden rather marries the girl after unwittingly compromising her. The girl then sets out to make Alden really care for her, which she accomplishes with no little difficulty. She wins her husband's love and at the same time makes a fool of a violinist of flirting proclivities.

"The Divorce Trap" Gladys Brockwell Is Featured in Picture by Fox with a Big Climax. Reviewed by Hanford C. Judson. THE seamy side of life, and it is very seamy, is the background of the Fox picture, "The Divorce Trap," five reels. Gladys Brockwell has the lead as the wife whom a scoundrelly young husband "frames up," so that he can get an adultery charge and a divorce. This sweet-smelling character is about as yellow a villain as the pictures have ever portrayed. His rich father is no saint, but when he finds out what his son has done, he kicks him out of the house, and it is the most satisfying scene in the film. If the character of this individual is not pleasant, the way he is shown up and given justice is, and the popularity of the picture is sure. That last act, in which the woman's lawyer works his case up before the judge at the trial, has real nunch. Miss Brockwell shows her skill in picturing various emotions all through the film. Francis Macdonald, as the despicable husband, does what is required of him well. They are ably supported. Frank Beal has directed a most telling act in the trial scene, and has kept the whole picture effective. Cast.
