corous roles many had better rush back
to vampirism before this clever star de-
prives them of the honor of being the
censors most popular victim.
The whole "Ince" staff seems to have
got together in the arrangement of the
scrdid play, THE Wolf Woman" and
this diabolical villianess, the wantonest
wickedest, luridest, widest, blacklist of
them all, with her ripping diablerie like
little streams of silver with splashes of
melted jet, Fuckers our foreheads in
aches of concentration.
Louise Glaum plays THE Wolf
Woman" with daring frankness and
abandon, and OH how you do hate her
and all her kind
Gardner Sullivan has written a story
for Miss Glaum that is exceptionally
good as vampire plots go, but it is of
secondary Importance. Even the best
playwright could not hold the center of
the stage against Miss Glaum and her
gowns; few people would believe it of
Los Angeles modistes.
Mr.. Sullivan has his villainess typify
the physical siren--the woman who de-
spises mental and moral worth and who
likes to bring ali men down to one level.
Leila (played by Miss Glaum tries her
charms on Franklin Walden, an intellec-
tual man. For a time she is successful,
but finally she is opposed by Adele Har-
ley, healthy minded and normal young
woman. There is a nice little duel be-
tween the two, which Adele wins by sim
ply opening the window of the mems
apartment, thereby letting in the fresh
air and clearing the room of the heavy
smoke of incense.
Leila, of course, gets her punishment
in the. end. She meets with an accident
and is obliged to go through life with a
SCARED face. With her beauty gone even
the most abject of her admirers deserts
her.
Raymond West has given the story
mastery direction. The settings are
beautiful and the interiors form a highly
picturesque background for Miss Glaum's
beauty. Leilas's apartment is the usual
bizarre home of the vampire" with in
cense as prevalent as it Is at New
Jersey summer resort at the height OF
the mosquito season. The photography is
very fine and some of the lighting et-
fects exceptional.
Again. as for Miss Glaums work. it is
very vivid, and there is nothing subtle
the garage at her Pinehurst home and
the injured member has given her much
pain. A universal hope for her early
recovery is expressed on every side for
