EXCELLENT SHOW TONIGHT
The play last night at the Liberty
proved to be far better than expect
ed from the title. In fact we be
lieve it to be as fine a melodrama as
we have ever seen.It is far ahead of
the usual Paris underworld story.
The settings and arrangements are
perfect, and the acting superb. Lou
Tellegen proves himself a character
actor second to none. It starts off
with a thrill and keeps them up to a
tense finish. It is said it was worth
seeing even without the two reel
comedy and the interesting Pathe
review.
