The result is one of those miraculous thing's which occur in novels, but seldom in real life" — (N. Y. Eve. World.) wwy tERE is a man, Eric von f~~i Stroheim, who had never written a story for the screen and had never directed a picture in his life, and yet he writes one, appears in it as the leading character, directs it and makes a masterpiece out of it" (Harrison's Reports). "If we are not mistaken, 'Blind Husbands' will introduce to the industry a new super-director. His work is quite in a class by itself" (N. Y. Morning Telegraph).
