Griffith Gives His Idea
of a Mystery Movie

SOIne time ago -. w trlHltn ue-
cided to do something different
The different" thing is a photo
play called One Exciting Night, a
mystery movie. now on view at Mister
Smiths.
This movie has been reviewed at
/ length n this department. Since that
review. One Exciting Night" has
been presented in London, England
This movie is a combination Of
thrills and laughs. i will confess that
l had to see this movie twice before
l could figure 1t out That is the
chief test Of any mystery play. Grit
fifth has succeeded in battling even the
wise ones in this movie. He has
mixed plenty Of laughs with the
thrills. Even the first real mystery
play, The Bat" on the stage, proved
he necessity Of having comedy to
releave the tense situations. So Crit
fifth has recognized the same theory
In his mystery movie.
In all Of Grifith's movies. there is
always one gigantic scene which re
mains in one memory box. In One
Exciting Night" 1t Is the storm scene.
This storm scene will stack up IA
vOrably in comparison with anything
Griffith has done The movie as a
whole Il not what one expects from
Griffith. Yet, I think that Griffith has
won his point-that to thrill and
amuse at the same time.
Carol Dempster and Henry Hull
have the chief roles. Their love
scenes are nicely handled Porter
Strong as q cOlored servant and Irma
Harrison have the two comedy roles
which relieve the dramatic tension.
I found this movie exciting enter
tainment.
