Characters in Conflict
Had the continuity of Conflict
been smoother and the plot of the
story more subtly revealed that pic
lure would take rank with the great
masterpieces of the screen.
The chief merit of the picture
aside from its thrilling action Is its
cast. Martha Mattox brings to the
play the most evil face a woman has
yet portrayed for the screen. 1t
takes are courage for a woman to
appear so hideous.
sam Allen, of whom 1 have never
before heard, as the old village
gossip, seemed to forget he was reg
istering for a picture.
Ed Connelly's characterization of
the old skinflint is fiawless.

One would expect then that Pris-

for pretty pose or vampish art. Not
so in Conflict" In that she en-
ploys her eyes to show hate, distrust
and high resolve. She leaves the x
preston of the softer passions to the
doll-faced ingenues who have only
their doll faces with which to claim
recognition in the cinematographic
art.
