nctlnn It Ib difficult te upenk of Ethel
nnrrymerc In modtrntten. There Is an
Irresistible desire te write all ever the
jinne enthuslnstlc recollection of bits
hfrc nnd sequences there in which her
jtnluB carried nil the wny through
ldem nbeve plnnlsslme or plnne, nt the
most steed out In vivid contrast te
ethers who call themselves actors and
who de make shift te walk easily
threiifih n part nnd give It some sem
blance of the meaning the nuther In
tended for It. All nny Reviewer, who
desires te keep himself within bounds,
enn say Is thnt he clapped as long and
as loudly as the rest of the house, nnd
that he thoroughly approved of the ova
tion which the brilliant audience gave
Miss Ilnrrymerc's present vehicle,
"neclnssec," n play In three acts by Zoe
Aklns, Is virtually without action nnd
Is largely mnde up of explanatory talk
nbeut the main character. In the hands
of a lecser artiste than Miss Unrrytnerc
it would be hopelessly conversational
nnd draggy. Hut with Its present star
its principal role stands out as se vitally
living n personality, appealing m Irre
sistibly te the sympathies, that there Is
net n dull moment while she Is en the
"Deelnssce" tells the story of nn Eng
lish noblcwemnn nnd her downfall from
her high estate until she Is the subject
of malicious gossip nnd is dcllbcrntcly
nnd constantly cut by all her former
luseclatcs. The first act Is laid in the
Kngllsh mnnsien of her husband, Sir
Bruce linden, and begins with her spir
ited defense of n guest, Edward Thayer,
against the chnrge of cheating at cards.
Hhc makes her husband apologize, bnt
en discovering later that Thnycr is actu
ally a cheat, she calls her husband nnd
guests back and denounces him, in spite
of the fnct that she is in love with him
and has written him letters which com
promise her. Thayer's betrayal of these
letters leads te her husband divorcing
her and her future wandering, aimlessly
and recklessly, about New Yerk, seek
ing her assoclntesyameng the oddest and
most unprescntnbfc people, as the ones
of her own station disown her.
But all the way through her progress
downward she maintains her ideals of
her hopes te make a man of Thayer;
she plays the game squarely nnd
cleanly nud never loses the spunk of the
"fighting Vnrrleks" from whose &cml &cml
reyal bleed she has descended. And
her death Is made happy in the delusion
that Thayer has come back te marry
her, her censes leaving her before she
hears his confession that he has found
another woman.
Miss Aklns has stretched the long arm
of coincidence out of all proportion In
order te get en with her story. She
flnds flimsy pretexts for bringing all
of the principal people In Sir Bruce's
home into the same hotel dining room
in New Yerk nnd then into the home
of a self-made millionaire whom they
all refused te meet nt home. However,
with Miss Ilnrryinere en the stage, you
forgive anything If only it serves te keep
that magnetic personality before you,
showing, with nn almost uncanny nrt,
the slightest emotional change by the
mere flutter of nn eyelid or the curling
of her lips in n wistful smile.
Miss Ilarrymerc; is supported by n
company In which it is difficult te' pick
out n weak spot. And they hnve nil
adopted her key and play throughout
se that there is never the slightest
suggestion of a dissonance. Edwnrd
Emery, who has been with her in ninny
ether seasons, stands out, perhnps,
nbeve the rest In his portrayal of the
millionaire, but. credit must be given
also te Henry Dnnicll, Cyril Dcla
vantl. Charles Wellcslcy. Philip Lord,
virglnin Chauvenet, Irbv Marshall.

Glebe There are laughs galore in

"A MAN'S HOME" HAS
DIGNITY AND PUNCH
Stanley Feature Splendidly
Acted "Bennie Brier Bush"
and "Intrigue" New Films
StanIcy-The movies nrc growing up t
Yes. and. like Everything that m'aturcs,
they arc leaving behind some of their
childish ideas nnd characteristics.
Fer example, despite the fnct that "A
Man's Heme," Italph luce's new pic
ture, is n se-called society drama, there
Isn't n silicic revolver cenccnled In n
llbrnry tnble drawer. Or, anyway, If
It was there, nobody tools It out.
"A Man's Heme" Is marked, for the
most part, bv repression, geed taste
and dignity. The rooms lire net ftnr
Ishly furnished, nnd the characters of
the supposed society people arc net en
acted in typical studio fashion. Pretty
generally, they ring true.
Combined with this admirable set of
merits, "A Mnn's Heme" hns the ad
vantage of being n powerful nnd logical
drama, directed In n straightforward,
smooth -Hening wny by Ilnlph luce, nnd
acted with force and authority by a cast
of well-known people.
in its disfavor may be urged the. tact
that there isn't a shndew of a new
thought throughout this story of Ed
mund Brcese nnd Anna Stcesc Itlclutrd-
son ; that the scenario has net some of
the little niceties of nrt nnd subtleties of
screen technique that make for the
greatest films, and finally thnt the phe
tegraphy Is quite frequently dead nnd
overly white, and docs Injustice te n
number of the plnycrs.-
Jirielly, "A Mnn's Heme" tells et the
rt tempt of two creeks te blackmail a
wealthy woman who is in their power.
Her husband, one of these calm, "let-lne-hnndle-thls-nffair"
sort of self
made financiers, Is nt first Immersed in
his work, but he wnkes up te the dan
ger which menaces his home, especially
bccauRO his daughter's happiness W
threatened. This lady blnckmuller re
pents nbeut this time, but her pal guts
ugly nt the prospect et seeing their vic
tim slipping nwny and has te be prop
erly choked by the husbnnd. That
clenrs the sky and nllews n justlliabli
happy ending.
The three real stnrs of "A Man's
Heme" are Hairy T Mercy as the
husband, Kuthlyn Williams as the wlf-J
nnd Grace Valentine as the "lady
creek." Mr.. Mercy has lest none of
his forcefulness nnd rx makes the role
of the self-mode financier both sym
pathetic nnd powerful, which few et
cur screen t.tnrs ceuVl ever hnve done.
Miss Williams Is ns capable and ns
charming ns ever. There are truly few
film actresses of her ability and poise.
Miss Valentine makes the blackmailer
strangely real nnd net entirely vlllnln
(His. Hers is one of the big bits of the
picture nnd, nllheugh en the screen
most of the time, she never falls down
en the job. The rest of the cast is ex
cellent. Arcadia Dignity and n rare pictorial
henntv are the chief attributes of "The
Bennie Brier Bush," mnde ever Sir
Scotland by Donald urisp and a com
pany that includes both American nnd
English plnjcrs.
Twenty-live years age when the Itev.
Jehn Wntsen, pnster of a church in
Liverpool, wrote "Beside the Bennie
Brier Bush" it became Immediately n
best seller, nnd Dr. WntHen, under his
pen name of Ien Maelaren, was one of
the most popular of dramntists. At
the present time neither his name nor
that of th.- book counts for se much,
but the filmed version should succeed
en it own merits with the j-eunger
generation.
The story is n bit slew moving, but
is alwajs appealing nnd always charm
ing. The love Interest is never innudllii
and the climax has real dramatic power,
once It Is reached.
One of the best parts of the picture
is the acting of Crisp himself in the role
of Lnchlln Campbell, shepherd deacon,
stern, bigoted nnd unforgiving. There Is
little in the characterization te remind
one of the same nctnr's work ns the
bruiser in "Broken Blossoms," but it
is just ns distinctly n work of art. Mr.
Crisp .seems te be 0116 of these rare
film people who enn net and direct at
the same time.
Mary Glynne, n British henutyi is
nppealing as the heroine and shows that
she knows hew te wear and leek at
tractive in the old-time fashions. Most
et the ether 'plnycrs are net well
known te American audiences, but they
portray the various characters of the
story vividly and with telling effect.
Scotch stories arc all a bit nlikc.nnd
the characters In them hear strange re
semblances te one nnether, but this
picture stands out well nbeve the aver
age, partly because of its interesting If
net striking story, but inninlv because
of Its stunning scenes of Highlands nnd
moors nnd lochs nnd glens.
Victeria "Intrigue," the lntest film
presentation from abroad, with the fas
cinating Peln Negri as tiie star, leaves
one In n puzzled state of mind which
could be Instantly cleared up If it were
known iust when the film wns made.
It bears every evidence of pre-war,
crudity in pliotegcapny, illumination,
setting nnd direction. If it is one of the
wonderful Negri's earlier efforts, It Is
Interesting ns showing hew she has
progressed te her present supreme plnce
as the most popular foreign stnr in
America nnd one of the most gifted
anywhere. If it is her latest work (and
every one will feel sure it isn't), it
points te n downward trend that should
be checked.
The story is the old" stuff about in-

But he chokes her te denth when he

Ne matter when the film wns made,
it is worth seeing as a sidelight upon
the career of Negri. And it is the first
we have had which puts her In modern

and cspccinlly modern negligees.
