SUPERB ACTING AT MUNICIPAL THEATRE.
The superb acting of Norma Talmadge is the principal feature of “The Woman Disputed.” She enters the scene as Mary Ann Wagner, an outcast.
and is shown in an early part of the film hiding a compatriot of the underworld from the vigilance of the police. A shooting affray in her apartment —where she narrowly escapes being arrested for murder—is the instrument of introduction into her life of Paul and Nika, the two army officers, who, together with Mary, create a triangular drama that demands the highest standard of acting. The whole of the story is excellently portrayed, while appropriate music is well synchronised with the film. The rendering of the entr’acte, "Lucia di Lammermoor,” is a musical masterpiece. Mr Gladstone Hill conducts the musical interlude, with Mr Lilly at the organ.
