CVl IK KNDIVO PICTURES AND THE PICTWREGOHR Drama and comedy of a different kind (From Then to Now — Part 10) A succession of ilramis and comedies all alike would make any cinema seem dull. And dull cinemas arc had cinemas. To say that Hepworth Picture Plays arc ever a sue. similarities would be absolutely untrue, Hit. pointing to results is better than merely praising ourselves; therefore we take " The Passing of a Soul" and "Spies" as our examples— the first remirkable for the beauty and uniqueness of its story, the second charming for the realistic " English ness " of its war-time humour. The " Passing of a Soul" bells how the substitution of another girl for hi* dead sweetheart saved a man's life. " Spies" involves a soldier, a girl, and a poet ; of whom the girl is the sweetest, the poet the funniest, and the soldier the luckiest.
