Mr, Holmes, perhaps, la the best

und broke all rocords as a hit In

There Is a finish to this actor's
work which Is seldom to be found
on the screen. He Is a master .of
fuelal expression and is possessod ot
a personality which wins the spec
tator from the tart. Ills character
isation of the whimsical Edgar of
the picture Is dollghtfully porfect.
Mr. Holmes won his fame on the
