DRAWS MANY TO DITMAS

Not often are we given over to
superlatives concerning the dramatic
merits of a p~hotoplay, and still less

shown last evening at the Ditmas
theatre, SHOULD a Woman Tell?" we
must confess is one of the most grip
ping, appealing and generally emo
tion-inspiring productions that have
come under the notice of the review
ers IN some time.
Accountable for this in large meas
ure is the fact that the author, FINS
Fox, whose name is well known to
the motion picture public as a sue
cessful adapter of plays and novels
for. the screen, has chosen for his
topic In this story of his own a theme
universal in human appeal n one
which essentially is suited to drama

HIT AT STRAND TOMORROW
I'm BLIND HUSBANDS
Another Big Attraction has been Book
ed for the Strand Tomorrow, Fri
day and Saturday In Blind Hus-
bands" by Eric Stroheim.

- ~ @1aAS
Here is a man, Eric Stroheim, who
had never written a story for the
screen-had never directed a picture
in his life-and yet he writes one
appears IN 1t as one of the leading
characters-directs it-and makes
a masterpiece out of it!
Among other good points, 1t has
a lesser humber of sub-titles than any
feature ever produced. In one part,
over one hundred scenes are shown
without a single subtitle. The char
acters do talk during those scenes but
their thoughts become apparent to the
spectator without the aid of any sub
titles.
The story is unique. It develops
in the Alps mot during the war;,
among the towering mountains, mostly
on their p~recipitlous sides,
the sight of which is awe inspiring.
An American doctor, his wife and an
Austrian officer are the principals.
The constant attention of the officer to
the neglected wife, winning her SYM
pathy. in the end to teach the doctor
a lesson. is the theme.
The hold upon the spectators feel
ings is exerted chiefly by the sympathy
the doctor awakens, contrasted with
the hatred the officer The
result Is that the spectator feels the
Joy and sorrows and shares the danger
of the doctor; and when the recon
ciliation takes place between husband
and wife. he participates in their hap
pinesS.
