218 SCREEN OPINIONS WEEKLY SERVICE PROGRAM COPY — “The Marriage Chance” — With an All-Star Cast What if the horrible dream of Eleanor Douglas had come true? See “The Marriage Chance” if you crave sensationalism. It is different from any picture that you have seen, and presents a beautiful and talented new star. “THAT WOMAN”— Class D (Adapted from story of same name) Story: — Unhappy Chorus Girl Who Marries Rich Man’s Son VALUE CAST Photography— Fair — Max Schneider and Adora Winstanley Catherine Calvert W.

Producer — F. C. Mims Footage — 6,000 ft. Distributor — American Releasing Corp. Our Opinion MORAL O’THE PICTURE— None. Poorest Effort at Presenting Old Material There is little to be said for or against “That Woman,” which is a crudely made picture, much too long, and containing very little to entertain the average audience. The story of the rich man’s son, who marries a chorus girl against his father’s wishes, and of the financial adjustments the father hopes to make which will rid him of the woman in the case, and of the discovery that the woman, after all, is not an adventuress, but a woman in the truest sense of the word, is all too familiar. It can be suffered again and again presented with skillful treatment, which is not evidenced in the production in question. PROGRAM COPY — “That Woman” — Featuring Catherine Calvert Why does the rich man’s son always pick a chorus girl? Come and see “That Woman” and form your own opinion.
