LITTLE-"EternaI Mask" II
The Washington times., 1938-01-27

Having committed itself to a
policy of presenting the most
distinguished cinema achieve
ments of Hollywood and Europe,
the Little Theater has embarked
upon the program designed to
merit it's designation as Wash
ington's art house" with the
initial local showing of "The
Eternal Mask" prize winning
Swiss film.
The picture is possessed of a
double -barrelled appeal-the an
Swer to that recurrent plea for
Something different" in cellu-
loid entertainment and a satia-
ton of appetites for undiluted
drama. There is no love interest
here, but few will chalk that up
as a shortcoming, for the i'm
preSSive acting and unique,
startling Photographic effects
combine to make a powerful
portrayal Of the tortures of a
human mind which has become
loosed from its delicate moor
