All the throbbing drama. the lightning action, the glowing I 'T''H "1 the world’s greatest genius., ''*** he seen in ••Th<- Light That I’ailtribute l (l ihe devotion of women who will risk lite itself or the living '•‘‘Uh ol dishonour for the men they !s |' !, id by Thomas IL Ince in his new drai.ia “ Those’ Who Dance,” a first National release which comes to the matinee at the Opera House on Wednesday ami again on Wednesday night. luce has told a remarkable story of a little country girl wh<» falls in with 1 hi l life ol the New York underworld in the attempt to s:iv ( . her brother from gangsters who have ‘‘framed” him on a charge of murder. Blanche Sweet, as the innocent girl t rorn up-state, who bobs her lovely curls and puts on paint and flapper dress of an underworld queen to save man from the electric chair, Ims one < f the most compelling roles she ever has portrayed. The dual characterisation gives her full scope for the dramatic ability she displayed so tellingly in ‘‘Anna Christie.” Bessie Love plays an audacious underworld flapper role with an abandon that wins every heart, while Matthew Betz and Robert Agnew arc thoroughly satisfactory in the male | roles of the production. Lambert * IJillyer directed and has screened the drama with a fine sweep of action that keeps the audience on edge from start to finish.
