One four-inch shell, they declared, was deliberately, aimed at the bridge on the steamer before the crew had left it. It passed between the less of an apprentice, who was standing by the captain.

Cloaked enly in Art a. woman stepped on The stage no, the screen, of the Longa-re Theater last night in a fashion that will et air Broadway to talking. As Truth in "The Hypocrite." she was a figure of beauty in ait allegory. The clever producers, the Bosworths, with Txils Weber. one of the most artistic ot American photoplay originators, as director, have reallv added another mystical cloaking for the- near-classic form of Miss Edwards. In most of her scene abe passes as an illusory fignre, only partly defined. This U accomplished by douhle exposure, fully half of the play employing thi troublesome method. Lois "Weber has overcome all of Its difficulties and has achieved a perfection of artistic result that has not been surpassed. Her picture In blue tint of a broad, sun blazoned river alive with silver ripples and seen from the height of a towering pine clad bank, has not been surpassed by either Salon painter or photoplay producer. The point Is conceded. And as the play really fa a beautifully illustrated lesson in straight living there may be force in it. Miss Weber has affected in it a new rev elation of the artistic possibilities of the photoplay and that and her courage must both meet commendation. NUDE TRUTH IN "HYPOCRITES" IS NEW YORK THRILL It was a notable assembJms of film folk and theatrical perona on Wednesday evening at the Longicrfi Theater when Will lam Sherry presented for th first time trie Bosworth Inc. production. Hypocrites To say that the film "went over" would b putting it mildly. As a production It not only pleased, but It made them all think, and It made them all talk, and talk seri ously. The. presentation was perfect In almost every respect. As I have told you before, this Is sureir one of the ereatest scenarios ever written from the viewpoint of daring originality and forcefulness. The daring Introduction of a beaurrfoi naked girl through many scenes, typifying Truth'p in an allegorical working out of the thoughts of th minister following nis strong sermon, has beeji done most artistic ally. And the points are, made and made with rroad, clean, decisive swsep.1. They are the truth and cannot be denied and they h t home. The photography and camera work is most remarkable, since a tremendous amount of multiple exposure work was necessary, and technically this Is verv. very difficult. , The run o this film at the tongacre Theater shouI e a long one.
