in watch this early demille work and it be once again reinforce to me that early demille be far superior to late demille . his attention to use of light within scene be remarkable . his pacing be very good and enable much to be tell in the space of an hour or so . it be a pity that he wasn not a intuitive about the style of his late sound film a he seem to be in his silent film . this be the first film in which i have see cleo ridgely . she be remarkable and quite restrain and yet convey a broad spectrum of emotion . the end be wonderful .
