The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-05-15

In the dual role of twins, one a
disreputable epileptic and the other
brother an honorable man, Marc
MacDermott in the Edison 3-reeler,
''The Deadly Hate" is afforded a
splendid chance for characterization
and an opportunity to give a sort of
DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde to the screen.
Because of the physical requirements
the role of the epileptic is an espec-
tally trying one. When to this is add
ed the fact that some of the strongest
scenes are played with himself-in
the picture but acted alone without
the spontaneous support of fellow
player, the artistic difficulties of the
part are realized.
But that Mr.. MacDermott meets
these widely differing characterize
tons is to be expected of a player
whose stage career has extended over
three continents with some of the
most distinguished stars, ranging
from Shakespearean tragedies to the
ightest comedy. Mr.. MacDermott is
a fine type of the actor that the film
has attracted and held with credit to
both So long has he been with Ed
ison and has appeared in so many Ed

ison plays that one name almost sug-

sents-he does not hisitate to sink
himself in the character, as is evil (,

series.
- How perfectly he gets over" the
subtlest emotions is admirably por-
trayed in ''The Man Who Could Not
Sleep" where he is so obsessed with
fear of a curse placed upon him as to
make sleep unthinkable.
With face striking even when in
repose, Mr.. MacDermott's finished
art enables him to express the sub

est and strongest emotion with I'M
erring skill. While he is especially
partial to parts that are quietly tense
with emotional power, he is as well
