from the story by Victorien sardou. Dl-
rccted by Edward Jose. PARAMOUNT
Announcement was made about two
years ago, exclusively in the EVENING
PUBLIC LEDGER. that Pauline Frederick
would appear in La Tosca." The produc-
ton was shown yesterday, and 1t was
worth waiting for. The fact that this
drama was also done into the movies by
Betty Nansen. under the title of The
Song of Hate" does not detract from this
presentation and by way OF contract only
helps to strengthen the excellence OF the
current offering. The longevity of the
theme on the operate and dramatic
stages is, of course, an established trib-
ute TO the melodramatic craft Of its dis
tinguished French author. A striking
feature in the presentation OF this pho
toplay is the musical accompaniment
which is taken from Puccinrs score.
Pauline Frederick has rarely had
better opportunity for the display Of her
emotional abilities, and the scene imne-,
diately following the death Of Scarpia,
with its eerie candelabra episode. Is most
dramatically acted. Frank Losee. who
has given the screen many interesting
character studies, has the role of Baron
Scarpia He fills II admirably and is
impressively sinister. Henry Herbert
does good work In the role.of Cesare
Angelotti, the escaped prisoner Jules
Rancourt is effective as the painter-lover,
Mario Cavaradossi, while w. ii. Fores-
felIe is we'll cast as the cruel Spoletta.
The direction Of Edward Jose and the
work of the technical staff Is Of high
order.
