Alice Brady rises to great heights in her delineation of the unfortunate heroine. Ousted from the home of the Reeds, the rich relatives with whom she is living at the opening of the story, because of the young son's petulance, Jane Eyre is sent to an in- stitution presided over by the cruel Mr.. Brocklehurst. Here she wins all hearts, and luckily escapes from its irksome confines when she secures a position as governess to Adele, the daughter of Edward Rochester.
