of films.
Her other successes have had
their high lights, but THE Wolf
! Woman" playing at the Triangle, is the
| best of her throughout
Louise Glaum has touched the last
note in 'vampiring": she is an actress
who knows herself down to the ground;
who has calculated the distance of every
ditch; there is not a touch, look, a
charm, movement, a pose, that this
wonderful artist hasn't pondered over and
worked out to nicely; the infinite ca
pacity for taking pains is hers, which is
not true of all great artists, for there is
the unstudied school that triumphs
/ through the sheer fury of onslaught
1t is the small shadings that tell in
Louise Glaum's work; the emotions in
the unpleasant and difficult role of "The
| Wolf Woman" are followed out with SUI
preme understanding down to the most
minute detail; it is absorbing to watch
her handling of calorics; such ammuni-
ton is dangerous to come in contact
with without being scorched and this
woman with big gobs of jet black hair
Dedutl-
full forehead, and her sensuous slin<y
figure with the graceful lines, has mas
tered the art and her vampire mean
derings through sloughs of tense situa-
tons place her in a class all to herself
and she is likely to be the one person
that movie fans" will wait for, and
start at.
This actress has struck the keynote of
imperialism in the films, and imperial
Ism is positive sort of thing you know;
as positive as magnetism, which Louise
Glaum has in great chunks; you almost
want to destroy it; it is so near perfect
ana perfection is the only thing that
anybody would bother about DESTROYING:
for instance, my idea of doing some
thing worth being shot about would hay1
been to tickle Queen Alexandria behind
the ear with straw while the coronation
was going on; just as by the same token
I'd rather have been shot than to see
Queen Mary upset.
Louise Glaum suddenly and with little
heralding has leaped ahead of nearly
everybody else in the Fine Arts studios:
she has few mannerisms and marvellous
personality. Her physical pulchritude is
exotic in It's charm and she holds Ib-
sers eternal fiords in her ewes which
alluring and powerful with poisonous abb
sinthe wells back of them; they are like
onyx; IKE the wings of a dove and like
stretch of muddy sea water under a
wharf; she draws her lids down in YAM
piric fashion, obliquely and queerly, and
there is something ruthless about her
face she might cut isr body if it did
not appeal to her-or if it did!
Here is a real personality and priceless

and things, have realized it and grabbed
the Glaum girl and nailed her fast and
tight
Usually we get the average actress
whole bag of tricks in one film, built with
Louise Glaum it's different; for instance
in THE Wolf Woman you notice her
attractive hands; you probably never saw
them before in any of her other screen
triumphs, and then her profile; maybe
you handn't noticed that before her pro-
file of a thousand dreadful shadows. and
then of as many thousand beauties: she
can stimulate great strength, and there
is something ludicrously trivial about her
nose-(put in to make it difficulty and it
probably has made her extremely diff
cult.
In THE Wolf Woman" all Louise
Glaums marked eccentricities as we'll as
talents are useful, and all the former
