1 1 -I i he F' ilmgoers Anna; DAPTED from the famous novel, " Brook Evans," by Susan Glaspell, " The Right to Love " is one of the outstanding talking pictures of the year. Like all good drama, it has the supreme virtue of compelling emotional foundation. The story, laid in the farm lands of the Middle West of America, tells of an idealistic young girl whose dreams are shattered by the death of her lover, who lives a life of sacrifice and disillusionment, and who dies, praying that the daughter who has turned from her will not surrender to convention as she did, but will follow the impulse of her heart. L THE RIGHT TO LOVE Ruth Chatterton plays, in this remarkable picture, the parts of the young girl, the tragic mother and the daughter— all difficult and varied characterisations, calling for the highest dramatic ability. The result is a great triumph for the greatest actress in talking pictures. Had she played in nothing other than " The Right to Love," this film alone would have made her famous. Coming after her earlier triumphs, it established her as the supreme actress of the screen. Among the supporting players, Paul Lukas, Daniel Manners, George Baxter, Irving Pichel, Veda Buckland and Oscar Apfel are perfectly in tune with one of the most sincerely .vj ^ emotional talking pictures it has been the ■*>• good fortune of filmgoers to see.
