Writing on the Wall

Directed by Tefft Johnson

With Joseph Kilgour, Virginia Pearson, Naomi Childers, Bobby Connelly and Josephine Earle

Irving Lawrence owns some of the most decrepit tenements in town and is an all-around bad guy. He won't cooperate with the efforts of his wife, Barbara, to help the poor and sees other women behind her back. Muriel, one of his cast-offs, meets and marries Barbara's brother, Payne. Lawrence makes trouble for Muriel and fabricates a scandal involving his kindly brother Schuyler and Barbara.
