The story is one of a man who is disappointed in love and loses his faith in God and everything, includ- ing women. He unexpectedly falls in love with the devout Miss Rubens whom he finds hiding in Canada be- cause they’ve pinned fallacious mur- der charges on her fair name. Cautious painter completing a job of painting a weathercock. —Gaiety Percy saves her, sacrificing his sight in a fight to save her honor. Then Alma returns the compliment and saves him by prayers which mirac- ulously restore his vision. They get married and go to church every Sun- day after that. “The Trouble With Wives” turns out to be the trouble with Sunday funny sections. If it were not for one exceptionally fine piece of comedy work by Ford Sterling, once famous Sennettor, the whole picture wouldn’t be worth the trouble. Others in the cast are Tom Moore and his irre- pressible grin, Florence Vidor, whose capable acting goes entirely to waste, R and Esther Ralston. The story waxes and wanes about a conversation over the telephone { between Tom Moore, the hero shoe f manufacturer, and Esther Ralston, his designer. Tom speaks as follows: “Yes, I like nude baby vamps. Bring the French models to the office to- morrow and I’ll pick a couple of good ones.” What you'll gain by seeing “The Trouble With Wives” is wholly dependent upon the question, “How easy are you to please?” ; comicbooks.com
