turning some letters to Osa
Mason. she meets Osa's husband
Nelvyn Douglas. distinguished
surgeon who is intrigued with
Miss Crawford's face. He persuades
her to let him operate. which he
does with amazing success. Now a
beauty, she still retains a hardness
of soul which permits her to plan
the murder of a small boy who
stands in the way of Veidt's COM
ing INTO a great inheritance. She
goes TO the house disguised as
governess and meets the child and
his wonderful old grandfather, AL

transformation in her character

performed on her face.

A Shocking Sight

We hesitate TO say that The
Woman's Face accomplishes this
because il may repulse some of
the woman fans, but il certainly
proves that Crawford can do a
great deal more than stock por-
trayalS or give a one-woman fash
ion show.

murder and then. through series

story from the various witnesses
assembled 10 testify at the trial.

because he is the only man she
has ever known who hasn't turned

this is her way of retaliating
against society. Veidt and she
