THE GENTLE ART
OF 0VERHEARTNG
It's Uses More than Evi-
dent in the New Film
at the Strand.

"The Heart Of Nora Flynn" takes a
deft turn. The turn comes a reel or
SO before the end OF the picture, and
from that point the story is crowded
with good drama. II one could arrive
at the Strand Theatre at exactly the
right moment just as the turn is tax
ing plsce-there would be not the
slightest reason for vexation. The steps
taken TO arrive at the climax, unfortu-
nstely, are OF such a lettering variety
that the picture as a whole goes for
little or nothing.
For "The Heart Of Nora Flynn" is
orc OF those film plays that hang to-
gether by grace of FIVE or six accidents.
Perhaps II would be better 20 say that
u depends upon the repetition five OF
SIX times Of the same accident-viz..
the fortunate presence OF a listening
third party when two characters are
discussing the next move Of the plot.
This gentle arr Of overhesring and its
sister sin. overseeing) is q device which
has long been denied the legitimate
playwright, but in the films II is still
considered good workmanship.
IL is distinctly possible. Of course,
that a conversation between two per-
sons will DE overheard by a third who
happens 10 be passing. One should
grant the Sim playwright his first en-
y.oy-2snt o. ais dCr:ce sHc forgive his
second. but thereafter il becomes q bit
o. bore. In The Heart OF Nora
Flynn there are half a dozen occa-
order o keep the plot from coming TO n
full stop. Had the authors Of The
Heart OF Nora Flynn" shown even the
slightest ingenuity IN planning their
climax the picture would be excellent.
The beautiful Marie Doro appears in
the leading role. and meets most OF its
demands IA satisfactory fashion. FL

cellently fitted 70 play heavy roles. but
