Jim knocks about a couple of years and then decides to go back to. Marge, being completely broke. Marge takes him in but admits that
| she: isin. love with Pres Barrow,
who has been paying her considerable attention in Jim’s absence.
The dog races come to town and Jim is lured to the betting field. There he finds Dark Hazard, one of the California dogs he had loved. Dark Hazard is injured in a race and is about to be shot, when Jim interferes and buys him for a song.
He takes the dog home, but Marge will not let him keep it in the house. Jim is getting more disgruntled and one night when he sees Marge in Pres’ arms he goes out-and gets drunk. He decides, on sobering up, that it is the small town stuff that has changed Marge. He goes home, finds Pres there, knocks him down and tells Marge he is going to take her away.
When he sees her concern over Pres, however, he realizes that he has it all doped wrong. He takes his dog and leaves. The dog recovers and being a splendid racer puts Jim in the money again. But one day in Australia he makes a killing at the races and that evening is again taken for his last cent at roulette.

Returning to the stage, he portrayed a wide variety of roles and was acclaimed one of the finest actors of the American stage. Among the long list of stage successes in which he played are “The Brothers Karamazov,” “Right You Are If You Think You Are,” “The Firebrand” and “The Deluge.”

She was a member of the Brissac Stock Company, of San Diego, the Morosco Company of Los Angeles, and the Alcazar in San Francisco. From there she went to Broadway where she played in such successes as “Divided Honors,’ “Love Honor and Betray,” “The Rear Car” and “Skidding.” Her last stage play was “Life Begins” and her work was so outstanding she was selected by Warner Bros.-National to play the same part in the picture.
