NURSE CAVELL FILM
G. B. SHAW CONSIDERS IT IRRESISTIBLE London, February 19. Mr. G. Bernard Shaw, after seeing the Nurse Cavell film "Dawn,” said: "It is irresistible. The only question to be considered is whether it is worthy as a work of art. Take my word—it is. There is a moving, impressive reincarnation of the heroine by our greatest tragic actress, whose dignity keeps the whole story on the highest plane. The producer lias not betrayed a single stroke of bitterness or rancour. The film can be shown in Germany without provoking a single German to tell us that people living in .glass houses ought not to throw stones. I hope ’Dawn’ will take its lesson to the ends of the earth.”
