New strand Attraction.

Again is Elaine Hammerstein cast
as a member of the "a~ristocratic
poor or shabby genteel" class in
her latest Selznick Picture,
Whispers" which yesterday began
a three day engagement at the
Strand, and again does she score
most effectively. One most notice
able thing about this particular star
is the fact that she does not "emote"
all over the screen but nevertheless
succeeds in getting her dramatic
scenes and points over with great
possible effect.
The story tells of a girl, daughter
of a widowed father, who Is placed
under the care of an aunt. This
aunt is a social pretender and uses
the girl as a bait to hook a rich
catch in the matrimonial pond.
Daphne, however, has her own ideas
on the subject and avoids all her
aunt's prospects"
A little Irritation of her own, how
ever, proves disastrous, as the man
she picks out happens to be married.
A very yellow newspaper, seeming
a big story, assigns a reporter to the
case, and the news gatherer falls IN
love with Daphne himself. This only
complexities matters, but in the
gradual working out of the plot 1t
proves to be the happiest solution OF
all.
An excellent cast supports Miss
Hammerstein, with Matt Moore as
leading man.
