September 15, 1923 MOVING PICTURE WORLD 215 CREATION HERALDED Ef PRESS OFFICE ATTRACTION Enthusiastic Comments by American Trade Papers Motion Picture News: Another "Intolerance" has reached the screen. Here is a production which for massiveness of settings, masterful handling of tremendous crowds, exquisite photography and convincing character portrayals will stand comparison with the best in American film craftsmanship. Manna Vanna is really wonderfully well done. We have never seen a picture in which bo many persons appear in the crowd scenes. Will certainly make American audiences sit up and take notice. Maeterlinck's story is treated with fine appreciation and sympathy. It is first class entertainment on a lavish scale Stands out with the best — a big picture in every way. "Monna Vanna" is the story of r woman's sacrifice. Thousands of persons took part in this production and the settings are some of the most elaborate ever used in a picture. The battle scenes, especially the scenes depicting the besieging army, the attack on the city and the final relief of Pisa are realistically erected. There is much excellent acting by the principals. Lee Parry was specially pleasing as Monna Vanna. drama witk Jge parm in the history of motion "pictures ^^Richard oickberg LEE PARKf asJign?uM.nna the woman who staked her soul on a man's honor.T)
