CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG
in
THE COMMON LAW
By Robert W\ Chambers
Robert VV. Chambers has never written a more wonderful story than this
brilliant novel of New York life. Its heroine, Valerie West, artist-model and
philosopher, is one of the most sympathetic figures in modern literature.
As portrayed by Miss Clara Kimball Young, she becomes a living person-
ification of sweet and noble womanhood. Her jovs and sorrows, her trials
and ultimate triumph in the love of Kelly Neville, artist and gentleman,
have given the screen one of the few really great pholodramas ever pro-
duced.
