His playing of Eric Fane, the young American secking to express himself in music, is a remarkable contrast to his' recent comedy performances of the young husband in New Toys." Here Mr. Barthelmess returns to the heights of tragedy. He achieves a number of fine moments of poignancy, of movie wistful- man Van Dyke, Gue Leonard, Tom Wil- ness and of powerful drama. His Ericson, Bert Woodruff, Francois Dumas and Fare will be remembered when most of Phillip Dunham. the celluloid performances of the current screen year are long forgotten,
A remarkably fine coat surrounds Bathelmess. Aside from Miss Love the principal roles are in the hands of Helen Ware, Carlotta Monterey, Walter Long, Harrict Sterling, Richard Harlan, Efe Shannon and other well known players.
