BUL.LS, TUESDAY, OCT. 17th 41 “THE STRAIGHT ROAD.”
When the producer for the Famous Players Company undertook the direction of “The Straight Road,” a truly human play in four splendid acts, he tackled a great subject embodying a great truth, and it must be said that the result is a credit to all concerned.
The story of Moll O’Hara, a girl of the lower strata of New York’s humanity, who was left alone and unprotected after the death of her drunken, mother with, as an only legacy an hereditary craving for drink in her veins, is one of great power. Miss Hanson plays without exaggeration, y T et by the aid of true artistry and genuinely restrained methods she goes right to the heart of things. Five, excellent tilms are shown in support, Vitagraph s “One Plus” is capital and creates much laughter. “The British Army in France” is an official picture that overbody should ses, “The Gaomoat Graphic” is very interesting, and Lnbin’s drama “The Other Sister” is a really clever play, while "Charlie Chaplin’s Barnyard Pets” is a cute, clever and laughable cartoon. Such a programme will compel a large attendance.
