Constance Binney In
"Tke Sleep Walker"

The reaction of a girl brought
into the world from the innocent
seclusion Of a convent is a dra-
matte situation which has al
ways had large possibilities.
In the past, however, criticism
has been heaped OH certain ac-
tresses for the manner in which
they attempted to depict the
conventbred; to portray a life
concerning which they person
ally had no experience And so
it was that when "The Sleep
Walker" was slated for the
screen. Constance Binney, whose
early educational days were
spent in a convent-and strict
French convent at that, was cho-
sen as the star. The experience
was most important-but see the
picture at local theatres Monday.
