She is saved after a runaway accident by a young neighbor, who later is accused of her husband's murder. He clears himself, however, through certain unexpected evidence which appears, and a few months later the two young people are happily married. The cast includes Theodore Roberts, Louise Huff, Jack Mulhall, James Cruze and Adele Farrington. Cameraman Paul Perry has produced some of his very best work in J. Stuart Blackton-Paramount pictures in the newest, "Wild Youth," which is to be shown this week at the Theatre. Many of the exteriors are of rare beauty, while the appealing little Louise Huff, who always photographs extremely well, is at her winsome best. Other players in the all-star cast are Theodore Roberts, Jack Mulhall, James Neill and Adele Farrington. The story, which is an adaptation from Sir Gilbert Parker's novel of the same name, deals with the age-old call of youth to youth and the love of a young girl-wife for a neighbor while her old husband — fully old enough to be her father — grows more and more cruel with his increasing jealousy. Matters seem inextricably tangled when a quick turn of fate leaves Louise a widow. For a while the young lover is accused of the murder of her husband, but Li Choo, a Chinese servant, confesses and the two youngsters are free to work out their happiness together. 13
