Emily Stevens is the star of this feature, and her J superb artistry has combined with the directing genius of Cabanne to produce a masterpiece. "The Slacker" has a powerful story, of special appeal to Americans at this time, dealing with conditions as they are today and as they must be faced. In "Tho Slacker" Margaret Christy, | (Emily Stevens) helps her husband j to solve his own problem, as wives j throughout America will help their j husbands and friends to solve theirs.
