Herbert Brenon’s production of Je

acters that the screen has reflected
in many a day. Besides Sir John
ston’s characterization of The Stranger

London boarding house from a hotbed
of intrigue, deceit, meanness and
petty thievery into-a place of kindli
ness and good cheer, there are sev
eral roles that call for unusually in
telligent handling. There are six acts
