experience of a little *irl In Limehouse, London. who«e fatherbeat her to death.

The New York World, however, saw the other side of the shieldand found little compensation in the work of Mr. Griffith's players,particularly in that of Miss Gish:

Elaborate hocus-pocus, consisting of subdued lights, the smellof incense and weird music, preceded the unfolding of the pic¬ture. Supposed to put the spectators in a receptive mood, it didnot get very far. though it served as a pretentious prelude.

The picture itself had a pathetic appeal as well as an exoticinterest. It was admirable in Its photography, which introducednew color effects. Especially beautiful were its sepia scenesagainst blue backgrounds.

There was good pantomime In some of the acting, especiallyin the impersonation of the prise fighter by Donald Crisp and theChinese hero by Richard Barthelmess. Lillian Gish posed as theunfortunate heroine. She is a movie queen, and one bows rev¬erently before the altar upon which her multitude of worship¬pers have enshrined her. But one also ventures to marvel howan actress equipped with such limited resources of facial ex¬pression and possessed of such little real spontaneity of mannorcould have traveled so far along the uphill road to fame. That,however, may be one of the impenetrable secrets of the movieart.
