Tho Ivan Corporation is to-be congra-' tulated on the super-drama! "Babbling: Tongues',"/which is being- screened at ( Harvard's. It is a story-of extraor-j diuary force, and conveys one of the! most powerful indictments ever conceived against scandal and the terrible consequences which can follow from such triiles as a veiled remark, a .lifted eye-,' brow, a secret nudge, and all those other i trifles which added together can Become, a mountain of evidence against innocent j people. The cast is a powerful one, and' is led* by James Morrison and Grace Valentine, who both do fine work in difficult roles. The story is that of the husband, the wife, and the other man. In-this case all three are honourable people, but babbling tongues, on no evidence at all soon connect the wife's name with that of the friend, and as a result the husband^ eventually died! through a duel wound, while -Ene wife and friend are driven into each others arms as outcasts from society. The dramatic power of the story is unusually strong, and the picture stands out as one of the really great ones from every point of view. ss"*
