i We are given a glimpse into the palace of Grenelda, the rites j of sacrifice and the hurling to death of a Christian priest when Grenel i I da wrests from him the fatal stone, visuali25ed by Marcia Manot when she finds the emerald near her seacoast home in France. Apparently the curse which the dying priest placed upon Grenelda is carried down into ; the life of Marcia, for a series of direful events take place until after the death of Silas Martin, brought on through his attempt to sell the valuable relic and get rid of his wife. :i Through the latter events of the story in America runs the 1 thread of a romantic love, culminating in the happy marriage of Marcia i I and Guy Sterling, and the clearing of both of responsibility for the death of Silas Martin through the efforts of a noted criminologist, I Robert Judson, The role of Guy Sterling, business manager for Silas Martin, and later the lover and husband of Marcia, is played by Wallace Reid, whose work in support of Miss Farrar in "Joan the Woman," and in the * superb Aztec production, "The Woman God Forgot," has added to the popularity of the handsome leading man. Tully Marshall skillfully interprets the part of Silas Martin, the thoroughly unlovable miser of the story. Hobart Bosworth appears as Robert Judson, the criminologist, whose work furnishes some of the most interesting incidents of the play. Others in the excellent cast are Mabel Van Buren, Guy Oliver, Gustave von Seyffertitz, James Neill, Ernest Joy, H, B. Carpenter, Lillian Leighton and Burwell Hamrick. 14
