under the exclusive management of
William Fox, is one that combines
beauty, love, hatred, revenge and ac-
ton. 1t contains magnificent settings,
superb drama and the photography is
faultless, comprising as it does all the
resources in command OF the director
of the picture, j. Gordon Edwards.
Briefly told, the story Of THE
Blindness Of Devotion" which is by
Rex ingram, the well-known novelist
and playwright, is as follows:
General CaverauX, noble old SOL
dier, dies, leaving his son Pierre
alone in the world. Count de Conway,
brother officer of the dead General,
adopts Pierre, who grows to manhood
in the care Of the kindly count. AS
the years pass by, the count becomes
desperately infatuated with Renee
DelavoiX, an adventures. On her ac-
count he fights duel with Gaugin, a
man about town, and is severely
wounded. While he is recovering
from his wound, Renee visits him,
and the counts infatuatlon for the ad-
Venturess becomes more desperate
than ever In the meantime, Bella,
the counts beautiful niece, and Pierre
have fallen in love. The count is call
ed to the city from his country estate
on an urgent errand connected with
military affairs. Pierre, who was sup.
posed to have left his guardians
place to join the regiment of which
he is an officer, meets Renee when
she makes a flying visit to the counts
estate during the counts absence. On
his return from the city he discovers
Renee, the woman he loves to distrac-
ton, clasped in Pierre's arms. The
discovery of the lias0n is shared by
Bella, who bravely says:
"ln spite of all, Pierre, will marry
you to save my uncle's honor, but l
will be your wife in name only"
The marriage of Pierre and Bella
arouses the sleeping demon that turks
in Renee's soul. She plans to poison
the count, whom she blames for rob-
bng her Of Pierre's affection She
places poison in cup from which he
is about to drink, but the count, who
has been watching her in the mirror,
changes the cups, and Renee herself |
drains the poisoned vessel to the
dregs. IA climax of overwhelming
power and tremendous dramatic force
follows this striking situation. Rarely, !
if ever, has a screen drama been
brought to such pitch of dramatic
and thrilling realism.
