URBACH’S
SUPERFINE PLAY
AT THE LIBERTY
The Henry King production of “The
White Sister” in which Lillian Gish
is now appearing at the Liberty Thea
tre is a motion picture achievement
that deserves* and demands the use of
all the praise it is possible to bestow,
for nothing finer has ever reached
the screen. Everyone concerned in
its making, distribution and presen
tation is'to be complimented most
highly.
Miss Gish is magnificent. No actress
of this generation on stage or screen
has carried the flame of sheer genius
into her acting better than does the
frail little star of “The White Sister.”
In filming F. Marion Crawford’s
story, Director King took a company
to Italy. Studios and laboratories
were established and then began the
making of what should prove one of
the truly great productions in cinema
history. Mr. King has brought to life
the characters of Mr. Crawford’s novel
and filmed his story in the exact lo
cale in which it was set.
Most persons are familiar with the
story and many have undoubtedly long
ed for its presentation on the screen.
These and countless others will be
deeply grateful for Mr. King’s produc
tion. He has held closely to the story
offering many thrills in the way of
an actual eruption of Vesuvius and a
flood that sweeps away an Italian town
and makes one almost feel that he is
to be taken with it, so realistically is
it done.
The settings are exquisite, the pho
tography of the highest quality, and
Miss Gish’s supporting cast shows it
was chosen with care.
To those who are regular movie
fans, we say “Don’t miss it.” To those
who are not regulars, we hold this
picture up as a shining example of the
accomplishments of the screen, and
unhesitatingly recommend that they
see it.
