"A Clearing House for Films of Merit." BENEFIT THEREB Y Highlights (Continued from page 21) relatives, and would not even leave her hotel. The ice is finally broken by an uncle from Casco Bay, Maine, who comes down to acquaint himself with the perverse maiden, and his outstanding benevolence and love win Sylvia so completely that she returns to Casco Bay with him. The dominant principle of the uncle's existence — that one should open his mind to the good and refuse to recognize the evil — is impressed upon Sylvia by his living example. She is not easy to convince that her life may be just as happy as that of the girl who has at hand every luxury, nor can she readily put down her pride and make advances to her relatives rather than feel so certain that they are only pitying her. The story comes to a climax with the capsizing of Sylvia's boat during a storm. Her rescue and the immediate consequences clear away the cloud of her misgivings, and she realizes that such facts as seemed to be against her were in reality aids to her eventual happiness. I would suggest one cut. The scene in which the artist and his friends imbibe so freely from wine glasses serves only to impress upon us the thoughtless, carefree existence lived by Sylvia and her parent, and the end served does not justify the inclusion of this scene. The trouble of holding an envelope over the lens for a moment or so at this point will forestall any possible protests. This picture is valuable for its advocacy of certain principles that may sound theoretical but are exceedingly practical. Our children should grow to recognize the good that is all about, and they should keep their minds from the evil that does make an appearance on occasion. "Open Shutters" could have none but a beneficial effect upon any group of children or young folks. The picture is distributed by Universal Film Exchanges, Inc., 1600 Broadway, New York City, with branches in every large town.
