WESTMINSTER “It is seldom that there GAZETTE. is such applause during the running ofa picture as there was last niaht.
“Daily Express" Yinnina Correspondent “This Freedoin,"’ the latest British super-film, presented at the New Oxford Theatre last night, shows again that the photoplauy is an excellent touchstone of literary art, though it may not be willy an art in itself. Mr. A. S M. Hutchinson, all things considered, comes extremely well out of the ordeal, which ‘best sellers*' seldom do.
The screen starkly reveals him as a melodrainatist, but ‘ This Freedom" js strangely beautiful and tenderly human melodrama, despite its snNrieking Sorellishness.
FAY COMPTON.
Miss Fay Cotnpton, to whom all the thousund aspects and seven ages of vomanhooi corne alike, is a fascinating ind convincing figure as the wife who fights for self-expregsion in a mep:] mmade world, She has a future rival in iitile Bunty Fosse, aged six—a wonderful child. 2 The film version wisely foilows the nuthor’s exnmple in leaving unexplained whiy a buSiness woman's children should die violently, but it makes enthraHing cntertuinment. This film shonld be as good as a paidup annuity ‘to those who book it. It was produced by Mr. Denison Clift, 4 ‘lever. young American, who came here a little while ago, and seems to have assimiJated us without-a single indigesny. G. A.A,
