When he meets the clear-hearted girl
who is impersonated by Miss Munson,

fullness of his vision.

HEART OF THE HILLS
AT STRAND THEATRE
Mabel Trunnelle and Conway
Tearle CO-starred in I'M
portant Production

At the Strand theatre today ''rhe
duction. will be shown with Mabel
Trunnelle. Conway Tearle and Herbert
Prior in the leading roles.
"The Heart of the Hills" brings the
orient and occident in close juxtapo-
sition. The early part of the story is
in India, and is surrounded with the
lure and mysticism of the east, while
the closing scenes are laid in Lon
don, where eastern conspiracy is
worked out with the western setting.
Though the picture was adapted from
the novel, 1.-THE Girl of the East" by
David Whitelaw, there are times when
it drags somewhat. We believe that
this could have been obviated, to Il
large extent, by the elimination of a
number of the scenes. In fact, we be-
lieve that the whole production could
have been made more gripping and
more intense had the continuity been
handled in a different manner.
AS it is the picture forms an ex-
citing melodrama to which has been
added a considerable amount of mys-
