THE MIRACLE MAN

a
On saturday afternoon a new pic
ture opened at the Chestnut Street
opera House in Philadelphia. 1t had
been heralded by its producers as be-
ing a marvellous picture. one when
was so far out of the ordinary as to
be called a Miracle picture.
On Monday morning the Philad@i-
phia North American devoted to the
full editorial columns to a story and
review of this wonderful picture
called the Miracle Man" Just to
quote the North American in few
excerpts will give the reader good
conception of this latest wonder
picture.
Its elusive yet unforgettabfe quail
ty is revealed in the fact that the
yet might not be conveyed in words
filling as many pages. A gang or
tenderloin criminals hear Of the
strange powers of patriarch IN u
remote village, whose beauty OF me
and faith have helped to bring health
and peace of mind to the suffering;
assuming innocence and belief, they
surround him, and stage pretended
miracle" through which they plan
to exploit the sightless healer as a
business enterprise. Their cunning
succeeds beyond all their hopes. But
unconsciously they fall under the
spell which they had sought to use
they are themselves transformed,
cleansed ennobled manhood and
womanhood.
That is all. A theme of elemental
simplicity. yet as complex as the hu-
man heart; as modern as yesterday $
news, yet as old as the hills OF Cali
lee. 1t is the simplicity of the story
and it's telling that makes the pie
ture's success so striking. 1t mas
none of the magnificent settings ana
ingenious theatrical Illusions of those
spectacles which have evoked ac-
claim and wonderment: Its subtle
power is comparable only to that OF
one other production, "Broken BIOS
sons And that searching dram9
has the special appeal of an idealized
foreign atmosphere, of suggestion
of livid horror which stirs by sheer
rain the depths of feeling. But the
magnetism of this story lies in its
scenes of beauty and tranquility no
less than in those of sordidness and
ferocitv. It's passion is masterful,
but its quietude is Irresistible. IL
steals into the heart like an exquisite
poem lives in the memory like a
haunting song.
