Programmes of the Week
at Other Picture Theatres

Bertha Kaiich was yesterday pre-
scented By William Fox as film star
of the first magnitude in an emotional
drama entitled ISLANDER at the
Academy Of Music. Nine. Kalich
proved herself to be a screen actress
Of acceptablity, with no slight appre-
citation Of the requirements OF acting
before a camera.
Islander" however. Is a typical Will
lam Fox story. told solely for the pur-
pose of providing dramatic opportunl-
ties TO the actors Come what may,
every so often there must be closeup
showing Nine. Kalich in the throes OF
heart-rending. She plays the part OF
a wife who is prosecuted by friend
Of her husbands. This villain Is q
combination Theda Bara and lago, save
that there is absolutely no reason for
his Vaccinations. Divorced. abandonet
by friends and relatives. Nine. Kalich
herself becomes Theda Bara. running
the son of the villain. Ultimately,
however. she is restored to her hus-
bands forGiving arms.
Although the complications on which
the story depends are wildly improb-
able. they provide handsome opportu-
mites for Nme. Kalich. and she con-
ducts herself as one has right TO eX-
pect from person advertised as
Americas greatest tragedienne."
