TALE OF FRENCH AIR FORCE NOW AT GRAND THEATRE.
At the Grand Theatre this week, there is a screen version of one of Sir Philip Gibbs’s most famous short stories dealing with the war. It is “ Out of the Ruins,” a tale of the French Air Force, and one of the best which have come from that versatile writer’s pen. It is a story which has all the elements of a good picture, and the making of it has proved its suitability for screen purposes. The chief actor is Richard Bar thelmess, who appears again in the war stained khaki, and in a role which is admirably suited to the particular Barthelmess type of genius. It was this character, a soldier, that made him famous, and his work in “ Out of the Ruins ” leaves no doubt that he is as great as he was in his first success. He gives, as Lieutenant Pierre Dupon, a telling personification of a gallant and appealing character.
