"T.he .ppctprX.Secret.M:. another , one " of . those all-talking film lrainas, whica haa aroused . so much favorable comment every where, 'and. which opened Its three1 days engagement at the Cratorian theater last night, Is not so mys terious and racy as Its title lmpUen. but proved to be one of the most entertaining, cleanest, artistic and superbly played film talkie plays " imaglnable-ftfitirely without mys tery or any wickedness except in contemplation of one of the char acters. It is an Intellectual treat. It Is entirely different from any of the excellent talkies which have preceded . it, . especially the , last two seen at this theater, "Old Aflsona" and . "Wolf of : Wall Street," but is . just as distinctive , and meritorious in Its way, in ! fact some in. last bight's audience , thought It was in many ways superior. , - -"The Doctor's Secret" is a tense drama of London society, but that; need not frighten any- men folks swny. for H is Just as nopular with 1 ' the male as with -the feminine play goers and theater-rilm fans It is, as perfect a performance in its technical anddrnmutlc detail as oihj woulA wish;, . . . 'i Tho cast is; a' small one, but oh, what a cast being - composed of nationally known actors and act resses, including those two leading veterans of the stage. Robert Kde son and 11 B Warner, and Ruth iuuth. Chftfienon, who proves a treaty In' her. emotional work. : rJthelv 4'oteerpSister splendidly, naturally and so convincingly. Especially is the performance of Edeson notable , becaut:n of his Rtrong'Vesonarit und stage trained voice. . The older theater goers will remember Edeson for his per formance on the legitimate stage years ago in "The Little Minister" and "Soldiers of Fortune." and .Mr. "Warner will bo remembered as the film actor who played the part of 'Christ" In that great production film, "The King Of Kings." Then, too, there is John Loder, the young British stage and screen star. - ; Ono of the most delightful characterizations played is that of ; the littlo English maid servant ; with tiic cockney accent, played by "Nancl PWceUbut 10 years old, and" ' tbli: is her first film appearance., There are other pleasing bits. - Ruth Chatterton, a stage star of years of experience, wins much 1 admiration wltn her characteriza ' tlon of the handsome society worn- - an who in one-half hour drops from the heights of untold happl- ! -ness to tho depths of despair, only to 1e rescued from her embarrass r irigMilRmmH by the chivuirous and ! understanding doctor, '.' played by Mr. Edesm. She hot only portrays the part with much quiet emo tional appeal, but wears some re ' maraabie gown?., especially one of 1hc season's finest evening crcafc vtions. ' Tliev photography and settings are wonderfully good, and alto gether "The Doctor's Secret" pro vides an excellent screen dramatic J performance well worth seeing. R. A. K.
