New York reviewers and thea- ter-goers, during the run of *Per- jury” in the metropalis, declared that Wiiliam Farnum surpassed all’ for- mer efforts in the expression of hu- man emotion. They predicted that the gripping photodrama will estab- Jish itself permanently as one of the classics of the screen. : “Perjury” provides a supreme test of William Farnum’s dramatic genius. for in the role of Robert Moore he runs the gamut of human emotion The hero first is seen as an active, ambitious factory superintendent of 46, happy in his home life and in the friendships whick his engaging per- donality has won for him.' Jealousy and dread grip his mind, followed by red rage and finally despair, Then the prison gates close upon him for twenty years, during which the inher- ent gentleness and sweetness of his nature deve'op in remarkable degree. The. family is left, outside prison wln}ls. to misery- and pathetic strug- gle.
