The stock market has been very unsettled of late and Eaton has neglected her shamefully. Could she not understand he was busy, very busy, playing the game. She was lonely and eventually found companionship in Mrs. Van Zandt, a veritable female Mephisto who inveigled the lamblike Mrs. Eaton into her clutches. And now comes that part of the film which may be really termed "unique," a life-like reproduction of the "gambling houses" in society. One may see the very denomination of the cards and how Mrs. Baton steadily lost until all her money was gone. And what then? The suave, purring, smiling Mrs. Van Zandt can always suggest some easy expediency. "Why, of course, its very easy dear. Buy jewelry in your husband's name and pawn it." Mrs. Eaton at first recoils at the suggestion but is finally persuaded. Once started, it becomes a fixed habit until one day Eaton, in need of ready money to carry on his transactions awakes to find himself accused of the promiscuous squandering of money. He is amazed when, on making application for a loan, he is refused. His credit is gone. Now Mrs. Van Zandt discloses her real nature and when Mrs. Baton cannot pay her I.O.U.'s she shows her a newspaper predicting her husband's bankruptcy. On Mrs. Eaton dawns the realization that she alone is responsible for her husband's ruin. Slowly she comes to a decision. She will go to her uncle who is the president of the bank that has refused to loan and intercede for her husband. She is next seen entering the board room of the bank whose directors are in session and summoning all her strength, she discloses her responsibility for her husband's financial condition and makes a magnificent appeal for the continuance of his credit. How she won the consent of the directors, particularly one who was reluctant is best appreciated by seeing the picture. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
