Beware of Success is the motto of the latest photodrama, Charge It, in which Clara Kimball Young emerges with flying colors as the sympathetic, appealing Julia, wife of the wealthy Philip Lawrence. After attaining a womans fondest dream a rich husband Julia finds that happiness in life is not acquired by an adding machine. For months after her marriage Julia .like so many g other young women, unaccustomed to the intoxication of comfort and luxury, keeps draining the family funds by shopping at exclusive establishments. By the use of the familiar formula, Charge It, every emporium of frill and fashion is an open sesame to the extravagant young wife. The usual happens. Her g husband cannot make his assets equal his wifes liabilities. He is forced to devote his evenings to his financial duties, thus affording his wife the temptation of seeking affection elsewhere. Again the expected happens. Julia learns that there is no place like home after all, for the attention of strangers becomes loathsome after a while. Julia discovers that the man who professes aninterest in her professes a similar interest in many others. Resolved to return to her devoted husbands, she finds that it is too late, for Philip has learned of her secret attachment. Realizing her and infiher recklessness that grief, delity has cost her a happy home, Julia determines to proveherself capable of taking her medicine and strikes out for herself in an effort to earn her own livelihood. The only avenue open is that of a menial help in a restaurant. The acid test of her mettle now comes to the fore. Julia buckles down to her toil and proves to her that she is courageous enough to suffer for her sins. She could not stand prosperity, yet she conquered adversity. By a kind fate, Julia is at last relieved of her pennance and a strange circle, of circumstances finally comes about to reunite the separated couple. 1 Evenings 7:45 and 9:15 P.M.
