THE FILM "DAWN"
RECEPTION BY PUBLIC NOTHING- MORE THAN CORDIAL Australian Press Association. LONDON, 7th April. Despite the warfaro waged ovor "Dawn,"-the reception of tho film at the Palladium was nothing more than cordial. There wero a number of empty ! scats at the first performance. The musical setting, largely Beethoven, helps in ennobling the genuinely tragic acting. As far as tho final scene is concerned, the cutting has been much more extonsivo than was publicly demanded. Not only has the shooting of the German private Bammlcr been excised, but also Nurso Cavell's fainting at the last and tho German licutenaiit's decision to tnke her life while sho was uuconscious. The graves of Nurso Cavell and Private Rammler are no longer shown side by side. Tho public merely sco Nurso Cavell facing tho firing squad. Tho scene is. thence taken straight to the lonely grave.
