Sylvia Sidney, who has essayed al-
most every possible type of film role
in her career, appears for the first
time as a full-blooded beautiful In-
dian girl in “Behold My Wife,” op-
ening today at the Tiuts Theatre.
Miss Sidney is first seen in the
native New Mexico background of
the Apache Indians, of which tribe
she is a member. Here she meets
Gene Raymond, pampered son of
wealthy parents who fled from New
York when his famity halted his mar-
riage to a girl he loved.
Raymond, who is wounded in a
fight with an Indian, is nursed back
to health by Miss Sidney. Realizing
that she is in love with him, Ray-
mond asks her to marry him and ac- ‘
company him back to New York. He
hopes, in this fashion, to humiliate
his family. I
His plans miscarry, however, when
his family takes the Indian girl in. ■

Tears clung to her eyes wetly as
Diane left the rail and made her
way to the bar. Slipping onto a
vacant stool next a youngish round- i
faced fellow passenger, already quite
tight, she ordered her sherry flip,
her thoughts on Richard. A half-
smile curved her lipa, as the dear
memory of his face rose before her.
His kindness, his whole-souled love,
comforted her in spite of the pros-
pect of dreary weeks without him.
“A sherry flip—twice." She start-
ed. It was the young man beside
her who had ordered. He was beam-
ing at her broadly. "The name's

but it's kicked around In the hotels.

you and who are you?"
Diane shook her head.
The main event of the second week
of the Legislature was the inaugura-
tion of Governor Allred. This took
place on the front steps of the Cap-
itol in the presence of about 15,000
Texans. Seated on the platform
with Governor Allred were former

words had exploded in her ear with
a loud sickening thud. After all
this time, to meet Richard’s wife
like this—. Her first frightened im-
pulse was to run—run anywhere.
But what was Richard saying?
“I’m expecting her Miss Robbins.
Ask her to come in.”
Miss Robbins gasped and
hurriedly.
"Diane—it's happened."
"You mean—she’s found
But then I’d better—”
"No.” Richard took her hand and
pressed it reassuringly. "She con-
sented to come, knowing that you'd
be here too.” Diane looked her be-
wilderment. "She came into my
room last night. She was very fine
—no scene or anything like that—
but simply said that she knew
about us—had known for some time
in fact—and she wanted to know
what I wqs going to do."
Diane's chin quivered, but she
tried to hold it firm. "There’s only
one thing to do, Richard—"
"I told her I couldn't say just
then and there—had to think it
over. I got up and took a walk
around the park—then I went to the
club for the night."
“Diane—dear Diane—I have de-
cided that—"
There was a knock on the door.
Richard opened it to a woman of
about forty-five—a woman of well-
preserved maturity, with an air of
poised elegance about her.
“Louise — this is Diane — Diane
Lovering.”
"How do you do," Mrs. Field said
simply.
"How do you do Mrs. Field.**
Diane raised her chin a little, un-
ashamed.
“Take this chair my dear." Rich-
ard indicated another for Diane.
"Louise—I wanted you to meet

Mike stared at Diane. Unmindful
of them, she was twirling her glass
on the table. Mike looked again,
then took a deep breath. His temples
throbbed and life pulsated tor him
with a new meaning. Awestruck,
he touched Johnny on the shoulder.
“Sometimes I actually have faith
in you again."
Johnny sighed. “There's a look
in your eyes that careful mothers
fear ”
"Not at all." There was a curi-
ous note of suppressed excitement
in his voice. “I’m going to prove
I'm a friend with some good ad-
vice. You should go over and apol-
ogize." he said in prodding tones.

“Maybe you re right." Johnny

They had moved forward until

looked up.

he raised his eyes to meet Diane’s
cold, uncompromising stare. Then
he wiggled a little with embarrass-
ment. shifting from one foot to the
other And Mike was offering no
assistance.
But as Diane watched him with a
scornful curl to her Ups, a sudden
astounding Dr Jekyll-Mr Hyde
change came over Johnnie. His face
twisted into a savage snarl as if
her icy disdain had been the last
straw, and with a sound like the cry
of a wolf he lunged forward to force
her into his violent embrace.

Swiftly and concisely he sketched
the simple truth of the story, their
meeting and all the subsequent hap-
penings. "So you see Louise, that's
how it happened. She hasn't your
protection in the community, but
she's kept on loving me—seeing
only me—waiting on—on "Back
Streets." don’t they call it’—only
for me."
Impulsively. Diane interrupted.
Tears glistened in her eyes. "I do
love him. Mrs. Field—at least, that’s
honest."
Mrs. Field looked at her with a
level gaze. "1 believe you do." she
observed evenly. She turned to
Field. "What have you decided?"
"I’m asking you tor a divorce.
Louise." Mrs. Field started. For
a second she was shaken out of her
superb poise. “Oh. I can arrange
it quietly and there's nothing you
can’t have. Naturally, the children
would stay with you." A little
wistfully, he added. "But perhaps
you’d let me see them now and
then—"
“No Dick." Mrs. Field rose de-
cisively. ”1 say no to everything.
I don’t believe in divorce. I don't
want our children to believe in di-
vorce." She moved to the door.
"The children are arriving tor the

you coming home for dinner?”

tones were wooden.

That night was an unreal haze
to Diane. Feverishly, she packed.
