Somewhat Spotty Drama

Arturo Giovanitti writes when and

example, he writes his poems In unre-

lected II because his idea demanded eX-
preston in that medium, and not be
cause Of the popularity of free verse
Too, he must feel deeply on any sub
ject to write about it, Applying this
spirit TO the drama, any play of his
and particularly his first one-is GER

gripping, and not infrequently un-
dramatic TO the point Of dulness. Such

"ENLIGHTEN THY DAUGHTER"
BEGINS RUN AT THE PARK
Entertaining Picture Is Played by Well
Chosen Cast

"Enlighten Thy Daughter which
opened at the Park Theatre yesterday,
is an entertaining picture with an ad-
mirable cast, but what does it teach {?
The crying need Of birth eontrol7 The
fact that there are inscriptions ply
sicians? That men are "to one thing
constant never? or that "the wages
of sin is DEATH? All Of these il may
be said To preach, il not to teach,
Zens Keefe is Lillian Stevens, the
girl who did not know. While il is
difficult TO believe that Lillian was as
innocent as she pretended, Miss Keefe
could convince one of almost anything.
With her remarkable performance she
carries off the honors in a cast which
is Of the all-star brand.
The most calloused movie fan could
not fail TO be impressed with the
agony of soul which is Lillian's por-
ton, and if any mother is too busy
with her bridge or her clubs TO en-
tighten her daughter she need not fear
for her future. Anv girl who would
dare 10 tread the primrose path OF
pleasure after seeing the awful fate
which so swiftly befell poor Lillian is
foolhardy indeed.
Just how was Katharine Kaelred to
blame, though? OF course she was
Lillian's mamma, and e she had been
at home when she should have been in.
stead of out playing roulette she would
have known that her daughter wen,
motoring with james Morrison and did
not return until IL o'clock the next
day.
Considerable difficulty arose when II
came TO ending "Enlighten Thy Daugh-
ter" Should the innocent be made 20
suffer with the guilty or should there
he a happy ending? Il would seem 20
the lay mind that he had suffered
enough, but the author insisted on an
artistic and therefore unhappy ending
