YOU CAN "HEAR"
HER ON SCREEN

In Madge Kennedy's new picture,
strictly CONFIDENTIAL" which comes
to Crandalls Metropolitan and Knick-
erbocker Theaters Sunday, only fifty
three titles are used to tell five-part
story. This is a record for brevity,
as the ordinary picture contains about
seventy captions. The action of the
story is unusually quick and spon-
taneous. Scene follows scene in rapid
succession, and the stars clear screen
articulation brings out the dialogue
better than titles can.
Apropos of Miss Kennedy's s.1ines''
being read by her audience, the star
recently received a letter which she
considers her prize compliment.
My dear Miss Kennedy" the letter
began. "Will you please send me your
photograph. / am deaf mute, but
enjoy your Goldwyn pictures very
much because / can always read your
lips. Not once have ! ever seen you
use words which i could not read"
The cast of supporting players sur
rounding Miss Kennedy were chosen
for their temperamental affinity to
the characters in Jerome X. Jerome s
delightful story of the servant prob
lem in England.
1t will be recognized that Strictly
ConfidentiaP is based upon the same
brilliant comedy by Mr.. Jerome as
the basis of The Rainbow Girl" now
playing the National Theater.
