t. Feet of Clay, witnessed by ca
pacity crowds at the Alamo last
night, i? - undoubtedly one of the
best shows Manager Freeman has
booked this season.
The opening scenes show the col
orful Catalina Islands, off the Cali
fornia coast, the playground of the
rich, and center around the yachting
trip of a party of eastern million
aires.
The beach scene, with its bathing
beauties, is brought to a thrilling
climax when twenty “mermaids” are
entered in'an aquaplane race, being
drawn on surf boards behind high
powered motorboats.
A climax of climaxes is witnessed
however, when the boat, with the
hero aboard, and the heroine trailing
behind, catches fire and explodes.
They are then attacked by a shark
and the hero is maimed in his at
tempt to save the girl.
The scene shifts to New York,
where a dance given by a society
leader, shows the beautiful costumes
of the 400 in natural colors.
The hero’s maimed foot refuses to
heal and his wife is forced to go
to work. After many reverses in
which jealousy plays a domiannt
part, both attempt suicide, and one
of the strongest scenes of the show
depicts the allegorical scene when
they are ascending the long steps
to be judged.
However, the doctor-husband of
the woman who has been killed by
a fall from the window of the hero’s
apartment, arrives in time to save
the lives of the couple, who, there
after, resolve to try again.
