n Elk in scarlet garments imperi-
n ously reigns in THE Wolf

~ Eek in scarlet garments imperi-
~ ously reigns in THE Wolf
Woman" five-part Ince-
Tiangle production from the prolific
pen of c. Gardner Sullivan. 1t was
presented yesterday for the first time
in Birmingham at the Triangle thea
ire before several large audiences
1t was generally regarded as a very
impressive picture-and pictorially per-
feet. 1t will be shown again today and
tomorrow.
Commissioner of Public Safety Arle
Barber saw THE Wolf Woman"
early yesterday morning and ordered
Manager L. B. Leftwich to clip out
two particular dramatic scenes. The
picture is improved by the cutting.
The Wolf Woman" is nightmare
of snakish wiles and lurid smiles in
incense laden chambers. 1t is
vampire piece morbid in plot but start
ling in its climaxes and prrs1ant in
acting and staging. Louise Glaum is
the naughty female, of course, and
Charles Ray, Howard Hickman and
Wyndham Standing form a. masculine
trio of devoted and sapient courtiers.
The plot of THE Wolf Woman is
antique, but done by artists it appears
as new. 1t concerns one Leila Ara
dele, a woman given over to master
ing men. Charlie Ray kills himself
for her, Howard Hickman becomes a
"doper" and Wyndham Standing is
almost gone when q good woman, Miss
Margaret Temple, decides to fight for
him. Then comes the most marvellous
combat ever dramatized or screened.
Tt is a battle of contrasts. The ''vam-
pire' is vulgar in her careless mo-
ments-the good woman is sweetness
personified and in the end virtue Is
triumphant in a reasonable way. 1t
is logical conclusion of the spectator
that the man will leave the vampire
for the obvious reason that the good
woman is decidedly more attractive in
every way than the decadent and
vulgar Leila.
1t is horrible story and the prudes
are bound to raise in awful hue and
cry about it--but its very strength of
plot Is it's chief weakness, as to the
critical mind it borders on the ridicu-
lous in that such situations do not
arise in real life Really, it isn't done.

"The Wolf
Woman"
BY G. Gardner Sullivan

"The Wolf Woman is a
bad, bad play possibly a lit
tie too bad for Birmingham.
Still to portray the lesson it
sought to convey talented
players were used and the
TRUTH was shown. Per-
haps the TRUTH is a little
crude at times and the pa
irons of this theatre would
prefer the wickedness Of life
screened a little more mildly,
and with a little more
"sugary'' taste; but that's
the director fault. He is an
artist; he knows what the
TRUTH is, and he isn't a
hypocrite or a SNUG rascal,
so he directed his picture as
he saw his story. We feel
sort of sensitive about "The
Wolf Woman. It rather
shocks us-and it may shock
you also, but remember, that
after all, it only portrays a
certain phase of life, it's tri-
umphant moments and its
final ruin in the victory of
the GOOD WOMAN. It is
our opinion that it is only a
very unpleasant story done
in a very unpleasant, though
artistic way, and should be
viewed that way by the dis
eliminating public that at
tends the Triangle theatre.
COME AND SEE IT
Il really won't hurt any one and
pictorially Il is one Of the most per-
feet of productions. In acting Miss
claum. with Howard Hickman,
Charles Ray and Wyndham Stand

the settings are magnificent In their
spIendor. 1t is a high class film
but It's trlfIe bad--just trifle.
