Based on the stirring melodrama 'The Two Orphans,' with a record of a half century's success, the Griffith film utilizes every bit of dramatic action in it and displays it against a Titanic background of action and atmosphere of the perlod--the French revolution.

Sept. 20th with Charles Gilpin in tha leading role, is an intensely realistic play. Bugeme O'Neill, the author, generally credited as being the most gifted playwright America has pro- duced in many years, is a daring dramatiet and realism abounds in all his plays. In an O'Neill play one finds traces of a new development In the theatre. Much of this advance, Particularly the alertness, forward- ness, almost radicalness of the inter- pretation, is due to James Light, the young director, who staged "The Em- peror Jones," and the other O'Neill Plays. Mr. Light, 1s a typical pro- duct of that strange colony in New York City, called Greenwich Village. He left the lectures of Ludwig Lewi- 8ohn at the Ohio State University in 1914 to go to the village, and return- €d to college after a sojourn In the Bohemian section with an enlarged ambition. He finished collége and went back tu the village, met Eugene O'Neill and has been staging plays ever since. A rather grotesque ilu- stration of expressionism given by Mr. Ligh! is that of so-called natural Acting.
