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.
