JItith Chatterton. whose fin voice and dramatic ability hava made her one of the ranking mo tion picture stars of the day, if not the ranking one, in "Madame X." demons! rifles that she is one of the really great actresses, and is supported by a notable company of actors, including Lewis Stone, Herbert Homes and IlaymonJ Hnckett. Miss Chatterton'a emotional scenes have the restraint and ar tistry that makes them all the more effective. Her handling of segues, when she appears inebri ated is su delieatly done and with such a grim humor, that it re moves all traces of disgust. And how that woman can plav with the tear ducts and heart . strings of an audience, is almost incredible! You simply can't re sist the appeal, and tears go roll ing down your cheeks while your throat chokes with sobs, despite the fact that you know she Is a miserable, unworthy creature. tint before this reviewer blub bers all over his typewriter with soft remembrance emotion t it would be wise to tell something of the story. Her characterization Is that oT a Fren.ch gentlewoman who descends to the gutter,' after deserting ' her baby - son and hus band for another man, and several years later is denied even a look iit the son. Her love for the boy, who thinks she is dead, ever after protects him from her. shame to the very last. Meanwhile the son has grown into a young lawyer, whose very first case is one to defend "Mad ame X," whom he does not know as his mother, for her murder of a man to protect' the son's name and honor. That court room 'scene will' ever live in your memory It has so many angles of pathos. While the jury Is still out she dies in ti it ante rocm. with the ki.s of her son on her lips, and her husband, no longer puritanical but sympa thetic and their friend and her disappointed lover standing help lehsly by. Not a happy ending but a most powerful dramatic one. Lewis Stone as the husband and lather does notable character work, and Holmes Herbert Is de lightful as the disappointed lover and family friend. One of thv most refreshing bits of tho play is that of John P. Kdington as me doctor In the beginning'. Ray mond Hackett in the role of the son is satisfactory but only inci dentally so.
