It also shows up the all-too- common selfishness of married women well off in their own right. There are male crea- tures who do not hesitate to sacrifice personal honor and dignity of characcer in order to live on wealthy wives, but they are not objects of admiration, even when they are socially tolerated. The genuine man. as impersonated by Eugene O'Brien, cannot dis- regard his protective instinets and happily subsist on ‘‘His Wife’s Money.”” It is deep in_his nature to go to the front where the fighting is bardest and do his share in the general struggle, hence he revolts at heing a camp follower in his own family. Such is the essence of the Selznick story. Its mood is fully appreciatec® by Eugene O’Brien and Zeena Keefe as the wite. [heir r:»_m'tormamw)é are the more creditable in that they are of diffictlt characterization.
