THE NURSE CAVELL FILM
MR BERNARD SHAW’S OPINION. STORY ON THE HIGHEST PLANE. (Pre»» Association— By Telegraph —Copyright.) LONDON, February 19. Mr Bernard Shaw, after seeing the Nurse Cavell film, Dawn/* stated : H is irresistible. The only question to be considered is whether it is worthy as a work of art. Take my word for it there is a moving and impressive reincarnation of the heroine by our greatest tragic actress, whose dignity keeps the whole story on the highest plane. The producer has not betraved 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 atones. I hope that “Dawn” can take its lesson to tbe ends of the earth. A. and N.Z. Cable.
