w. H. Thompson with Marjory Wilson
in Ince Masterpiece, "The Eye of the
Night" with Roaring Comedy at

William H Thompson, the veteran
PLAYER, as the star of a heart interest
drama entitled The Eye Of the Night"
In this production Thompson plays the
part Of an aged keeper of a lighthouse
in a small village on the coast Of Eng
land.
THE Eye of the Night" narrates the
simple story of slaveys misdoing, of
her struggle for existence among the
narrow minded bigots in the town and
Of her ultimate discovery that the old
keeper of the light-the only mortal
who forgives her sin and receives her
into his care-is her father. 1t is made
powerful by the pathos of it's situa-
tons and is agreeably relieved by the
intermittent touches OF quaint come
dy.
One Of the valuable assets Of the
play is the surprising beauty Of its
scenes. Each was selected with ex-
IRENE care to depict the homely pic
turesaueness Of the coastal hamlet in
which the action Of the story takes
place and each lent itself readily to
beautiful photography. Among the
more vivid scenes Of the piece are those
which show a fierce aerial attack on
