were a decade ahead OF the photo

OF pre-eminence conspicuous in this
MIN that seems not 10 have been OBJ

Instead OF registering the progress
of. the highly dramatic story OF life
at a remote army post in India by tur-
bulent action. the most Oppressive eli
makes in the screened narrative are
yitalized by suggestion that is totslly
psychological. The character draw

aids more than In any other photo-
drama ever released in conveying the
same consciousness OF mighty drama
10 the sense OF the spectator that is
usually attempted by the enactment
OF great physical eSertions. There
are moments OF vivid action In
"Stronger Than Death" TO be sure,
but they cease invariably TO make
way for some gem OF character de-
lineation or an implied connict be-
tween the life doctrines or opposed
races.
There could be no greater drama
than this slice OF picturesque life in
which a half-caste coward never
quite measures up to the task he has
set himself to perform; in which a
British colonel. brutalized by drink,
atones for his outrages by summon

1t has been charged that the story
derived from Miss Wylie's novel
places too great a tax upon a spects-
tors credulity: that the principal epi-
sodes could never have happened. IL
this be true, then there was never a
Sepoy rebellion and traitors were not
shot from the mouths of cannon; de-

times. 1t is a photodrama that pre-

Her first appearance was with the
Blue Bril- Company, the Maeterlink

a season with the Poll stock COM

and this was followed by her being
engaged for Al Jolson's show at the
Winter Garden, New York, where her
remarkable cleverness in songs and
dances earned her rapid promotion.
Miss Eaton is an enigma to her
most intimate friends. She is still
the unspoiled child with her childish
desire for making fudge, dancing and
loving dogs. Then again there Is an
other side of her fascinating personal

not the sports so commonly associated
with femininity, but the hardy,

her more than to set out in the early
