"WAR BRIDES" ARGUES PEACE Nazimova Visualizes War Con* ditions and Dies on the Screen For Peace Nazimova in "War Brides," play ing on the Colonial screen the first two days of this week, has a powerful argument against war that suggests itself favorably to every reasonable person who lias witnessed the film. Centered in the emotional acting of the dark-haired, dark-eyed girl In the. leading role, the story tells of the plunging of a nation Into war and the attendant suffering of those who serve their country by going and those ■ who equally serve remaining. ThHt lovr Is the fundamental and only right basis for marriage and that "war-bride decrees," conceived In a distorted patriotism and advocated through a mistaken sense of necessity, ore unjustified even in the severest stress of war times, —this is the leg son that Nazimova and an excellent, supporting cast attempt to demon strate. The keen sorrow of an old mother who Is forced through the iron grasp of war to relinquish her four sons is portrayed with an ability sec ond only to that of Nazimova herself. The pacifist will see In this picture his owir cherished Ideals exemplified and the war-wlth-honor man will find himself thinking hard as he leaves the theater. MAX ROBERTSON.
