"Infidelity" is five-reel drama
featuring Anna @. Nilsson and Eugene
Strong, showing at the Princess to-
day.
In this picture it is not the story it
self bat the way in which it is direct
ed, acted and developed through we'll
constructed scenario that makes it
thoroughly entertaining. One Is far
more concerned with watching its prog
ress scene by scene than realizing
that it is another of a large and IA
miliar class. 1t may be obvious and
have a trite climax but the interest is
held throughout Notwithstanding, and
there are numerous novel twists.
The two featured members Of the
cast and their support, have used in
telligence in playing their roles and in
each instance give a fine performance.
Irrespective of looking very pretty ILL
the numberless gowns which she
wears during the film, Miss Nilsson
portrays with marked ability the girl
who reunites her father and mother
after long separation.
