8 ■ THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY In a Class by Itself — SAYS THE MORNING TELEGRAPH. «JN the reviewer's opinion the Capitol is running one of the three best pictures of the year. It is 'Blind Husbands.' For detail, atmosphere and penetrating character-drawing IT IS IN A CLASS BY ITSELF. The picture has an immensely dramatic climax when at the top of the pinnacle the Spirit of the Mountain hurls the second-rate man to his death, for 'In the Alps There is No Sin.' The scenic beauty catches the very air and soul of the mountains and the views are so perfect that it is hard to believe the picture was filmed in California. Mr. Stroheim's characterization is a real achievement, his acting is immensely clever. It serves to prove that after all 'the movies' do move."
