Miss Constance Binney in THE Sleep
Walker"

The reactions of a girl brought into
the world from the innocent seclusion
Of a convent is dramatic situation
which has always had large possibili-
tics.
In the past, however criticism has
been hcapcd On certain actresses for
the manner in which they attempted
to depict the convent-bred; to portray
Il life concerning which they personal
ly had had no experience.
And 50 1t was that when The sleep
Walker was slated for the screen,
Constance BihDcy, whose carly educa-
tional days were spent in convent
and a strict French convent at that
was chosen as the star.
This experience was most important
to the story which deals with drama
tic events that occur when an innocent
girl is thrown into a vortex of intrigue,
q situation thrillingly complicated by
her own habit Of sleep walking.
The Sleep Walker" which is to
open at the Colonial today, has all the
