— 766 — Bergner in the German version, and Gaby Morlay in the French edition. The plot here could develop in any country, seeing that the little Russian student might go to any foreign university, and as a consequence, speak the language of the country where she was residing. It would have been a good plan to choose for the part of Arianne a real Russian girl, since it could not be supposed that either a French or a German actress could find in their spirits that indefinable sense of life of the Russian soul, which is generally referred to as Slav charm. Summing the matter up, if we cannot condemn outright the methods of dubbing at present in use, which after all permit us to see and hear foreign works of art which is an international things itself and only capable of improvement by contrasts, we must at least exhibit great prudence in choosing the persons to carry out the dubbing. We should safeguard the national character of the film as far as possible, because it is one thing to translate a book, and a very different thing to present a film in a language different from the original language of its makers, when such a film has about it all the evidences of its originating country. Film adaptors ought to have much tact and a wide knowledge of ethnography and psychology. (Translated from the French).
