Crigcs have likened “For Value
'ROCOlVCIl” in theme to that famous
play "Bought and Paid For." It was.
The story of a woman who. in order
that her sister might obtain a musical
education. risked her honor in the
eyes of the world, and the after-math
of her act. proved inspiring; the au-
thor, Ethel Clifton, creating scenes
which gripped and appealed to the
emotgons.
Almt'ric Thomson. a novelist. doom-
ed to death by a \crdict of his physi-
cian. hires the services of Beverly
Mason as companion and secretary on
an Orient trip on which he goes to
die. instead of dying, Thomson lives;

hearty plaudits of the audience with
