THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY 11 They Welcome "Blind Husbands Universal Film Exchange. Dear Sirs : — Chicago, Illinois, November 21, 1919. yj Chicago Evening American. "Looping the Loop' BY E C. SEGA R. I consider it quite a privilege to witness an advance showing of "Blind Husbands," and thank you very much for my invitation. To my mind, with the support of such an excellent cast of players, who portrayed their respective characters with rare skill, and with the wonderful and gorgeous scenic settings, Mr. Stroheim has created a marvelous picture, with a most convincing moral. Everybody should see this masterpiece. May I ask, where was the daredevil photographer when taking some of the mountain scenes? He, too, deserves abundant praise and should not be forgotten when magnifying the wonders of this photoplay. I am, Most cordially yours, EVELYN L. ALDR1CH. Mrs. Paul Kenneth Aldrich, 434 W. 72d St., Director Hamilton Park Woman's Club. CRITICISMS RECEIVED ON "BLIND HUSBANDS' INGTON, D.
