The Conquering Power.

Another very fine Rex Ingram pro-
duction, The Conquering Power, was
presented at Jimmies Playhouse this
week on Tuesday and Wednesday,
founded on Balzac's story, Eugene
Grandet," and adapted by, June Ma
this. is
The one idea of finding in this
picture more infinite variety of spec
tacular wonders than in the -Four
Horsemen would be rather suspi-
cious. 1t is not that, but there is a
dramatic quality in the work which
makes it powerful.
One sees in Pere Grandet, played
by Ralph Lewis a character worthy
of great names. We might pause in
doubt probably over the intensity of
the mans ruling passion. But with
the most careful measure of artistry
it would be hard to find false or
even an overweight conception of
the work. One can see in this a
Ralph Nickelby or an Anthony Chuz-
zlewitI with no great stretch of the
imagine ton.
In this work Balzac has given us
some very interesting ideas of French
customs and liarities-formali-
ties and inherent nature III the pro-
vincial, and towering out of this en-
vironment, like the Rose of Sharon,
is the Balzac ideal of loneliness, Eu-
genie Grandet.
Rex Ingram has also made dis
tinct achievement in casting for the
picture. l don't know when more
attractive and sincere pupil of-real
art has appeared in modern screen
dom than Alice Terry. She has natu-
raj grace and charm, and looks like
she might have found inspiration in
the Ellen Terry or Julia Marlowe
traditions. AS Marguerite Laurier
in the Ibenez picture Miss Terry's
part was rather submerged. In this
it glitters more like a gem. But
there is something in the fact that
she has a cavalier sutton in Rudolph
Valentines character of Charles
Grandet. Valentino is always force
full and polished. He has a great in
fiuence among the patrons of Metro
pioturnc and he was seen to good adj
vantage in this work.
There were several other very fine
character studies. The banker by
Mark Fenton is assuring and impos-
ing. The notary by Edward Connel-
ly is a creditable dramatic type. The
cast was a complete Metro success.
A picture of this character is man
fold in it's educational angles and
delightful romance of the old
school which will never perish.
