EMMA Directed by Clarence Brown from a story by Frances Marion. £MMA (Marie Dressier) the lovable housekeeper of Frederick Smith’s (Jean Hersholt) extensive family is devoted to the youngest child, Ronnie (Richard Cromzvell), ■whose mother died at his birth. Feeling lonely, Smith marries Emma and dies shortly afterwards, leaving his wife — to her embarrassment — in charge of the large family fortunes. The only person who thinks Smith has been duly cautious is Ronnie, the rest of the children are suspicious and hostile. So much so that Emma is brought to trial on a charge of having poisoned her husband, but is acquitted. Then she learns that Ronnie has been killed in a flying accident. But she bears this blow, like the rest, with fortitude, and having settled the other children’s affairs, finds happiness as a housekeeper to another large family of youngsters. 116
