REVIEW To be sent to newspapers the day following the first showing of “MADAME JEALOUSY* Versatile Pauline Frederick is appearing at the theatre this week in her very latest Paramount photoplay, "Madame Jealousy." This was written for her by George V. Hobart, author of "Experience," "Every Wife" and other allegorical plays, as well as a noted writer of light opera and comedy. Robert Vignola, who directed the production has given full play to all his latent artistic ability. The costumes are exquisite and an elaborate church wedding which takes place at the commencement of the story was carried out to the last details. "Madame Jealousy" sits brooding in her stately home, known as "The House of the Heavy Tears" and at the commencement of the story does her best to interrupt a love affair between "Charm" and "Valor." Her parents, "Treachery," "Mischief," "Sorrow" and "Rumor" surround her and aid and abet her in causing the ultimate separation of the young people after their elaborate and costly wedding. By whispering tales of unfaithfulness and business rivalry, "Madame Jealousy" separates the families of the two young people, and in the end even "Charm" and "Valor" themselves. "Valor" sinks to the level of a brawl with his own father in a public restaurant and thereafter is followed ever by watchful "Remorse," also one of "Jealousy's" servants. Matters go from bad to worse until the advent of a child at the home of Charm and Valor brings Valor back to Charm, repentant and with his eyes opened to his own past unworthiness. The parents come also and there, at the bedside of Charm a lasting reconciliation takes place. "Jealousy" and her servants slink abashed to the background and at last are driven out by the force of goodness and love which is working in that room. As "Jealousy" sinks into the quicksands of life she calls out unavailingly to her servants to help her and cries at the last: "I go from you-but others and still others will call me back-so beware !■ 15
