Unsuspected Drama (Reviewed by Robert C.. McElrnvy. Clipping from Motion Picture World.) The reviewer in watching this five- geline” could not help wondering what -the -gentle, gray-haired poet Herry Wadsworth Longfellow would For besides . the exquisite . poetical flavor of the original and a surpris- Ling " fidelity .to the times®and char- acters ‘depicted, the -adapters have wrought out of this beautiful, sonor- ous poem,. which every. school child knows, a .surprising amount of real drama. It quickens ‘the heart and suffuses_the eyes with tears in num- ‘be added, is attained without any ap- parent striving. . The lulling quality of Longfellow’s lines seem almost to have - hidden the ifitense: feeling in the depths of the nattatiye.- _From a sceni¢ standpoint this pro- duction is sublime. . It drops the spec- tator gently in the “forest primeval” ‘and - leads him into a fairyland of surpassing beauty. The village .of Grand Pre is revealed to him, lying im; its quiet’ vale, ‘surrounded by charming pastoral scenes. The char- acterizations are excellent—Benedict | Bellefontaine, Father Felician, Basil the blacksmith, and his strapping son, Gabriel, are all portrayed to the life. And Evangeline herself is beautifully portrayed by Miriam Cooper, who visualizes in form and features the The sup- porting cast is unusually ; The original poem is quoted fre- quently and often single lines have been utilized to bring out striking effects, such as “When she it was like the ceasing of exquisite music.” The adapters must be given credit for accomplishing a rarely-ar- tistic thing in this screen production: It is certain to have tremendous ap- peéal in picture houses and will make a fine addition to the film libraries of schools and colleges. * .

Sunday next. The exploits of the famous self-liberator before the camera are said to be even more baf- fling than those which he demon- strated on the vaudeville stage. A well developed story has been written around Houdini’s feats by Arthur B. Reeve and John W. Grey. It presents Houdini as the inventor of a secret submarine device with which he hopes to salvage the car- goes of wrecked ships. However, through his meeting with & girl whose father is held captive on a South Sea" island, Houdini is forced to put his invention to work sooner than he anticipated. Clashes with the native islanders, in which Houdini makes all sorts. of unbelievable escapes while under water from safes and packing boxes, a fight with a diver on the ocean bottom, as well as several feats of magic that mystify the audience as much as they do the South Sea natives on the screen are only part of the program of thrills. Lila Lee is the leading woman, and the picture was directed by James Cruze. Added features will be a Prizma subject at each performance, and on Sunday evening the well known Elko six-piece orchestra will furnish the music.
