On the stage this story ‘was doubtless a spine-chilling melo- drama but on the screen it is the most delightful of comedies. | Every incident imperilling a play- er, every expression of fright, every scurrying shadow and eerie light, utterly broke down the spectator's reserve. . - A woman would. shriek here and a man guffaw there, then the whole house would tumble down in'mirth. There was just as much impressionable woman in watching the sereen, 'which is high praise for the photoplay. 3% Jean ‘Hersholt gives a very fine and sympathetic performance as the | picture thief, another psim on the histrionic - decoration: of ‘this first- ranking character star. Alice Joyce is splendid in her role as the aristo- cratic mother; & part which might have been unsympathetic in less capable hands. Zasu Pitts contributes a great deal-of the humor of the picture as Miss Joyce's maid, while George Lewis and Helen Foster handle the Jove interest with a youthful charm.
