for Dramatic Art.
<(~HE MAGNIFICENT OBJ

HTHE MAGNIFICENT OBJ
SESSION" has been a
storm center of impassioned
"A debate ever since it was
sprung upon the unsuspecting cinema
public more than a year ago. Its
champions promptly proclaimed that
here was story of real worth, tale
OF moral regeneration to be pondered
by every sincere and thoughtful per-
son. There was also considerable ap-
plause on behalf Of its efficiency as a
tear-jerker, q quality not to be spurned
in appraising the box-office value of
o flicker.
AwkwardIy Presented.
To many others the picture, now in
revival at the Belasco, seemed an
obvious and creaky morality play,
wasting the time of its performers
and all who came to see it. After a
glimpse at the reel in its current visit,
we are inclined to agree with the lat
ter faction, not denying the merit of
the saga's doctrines, but insisting that
they are presented awkwardly and
with q minimum regard for the lively
arts Of the drama.
THE Magnificent Obsession' argues
chat mankind gains power through
unselflshness, that a nobler sense of
life Is the reward Of self-sacrifice, and
that unheralded benevolence repays
the inmost soul-all ideas so closely
bound into the teachings of Christi
enity that they have not, to say the
least, the mark of novelty. The SER
mon is no richer for its manner of de-
livery. Directed with sense of the
obvious that amounts almost to genius,
1t Is a labored preachment. seldom
mindful Of the theater's rules and
oblivious to its intriguing practices.
