NAZIMOVA IN "THE BRAT."
Evidently two or three previous pictures which had featured Nazimova secured for that artist a wide popularity in Wellington, for the Grand Opera Hwiso was crowded on Saturday evening to witness the first screening of "The Brat." Nazimova. is an actress in the true sense of the word, and her wonderful facial expressions and personal mannerisms are the reasons for her leading position among the film artists of to-day. "The Brat" does not tell a very novel story. A chorus girl, struggling for an existence, is dismissed because of her determination to keep her good character. She meets with considerable misfortune before she is taken into the home of a prominent novelist, who desires persona) acquaintance with a certain "type" which he intends to embody in his latest story. Of coiirse, many things happen before these two are betrothed—from the outset it is clear that a beti'othal is inevitable—and merest is fully maintained in many scenes Tunning from comedy to drama, the former predominating. Th« weakest part of Saturday's entertainment was the orchestra, which played out of tune and out of time.
