"THE MAN WHO FIGHTS

· ALONE” TO-DAY,

Farnum's characterisation of the capable, forceful engineer whose unwarranted jealousy and auspl cfon of his best friend all but leads to his destruction is nothing short) of the work of a genius. He proves that as a dramatic actor of emotional parts he is in a class by himself.

"The Man Who Fights Alone" is based upon an adaptation by Jack Cunningham from an unusual story by William Blacke and James Shel-| ley Hamilton called "The Miracle of Hate." Right from the first flash- in, when the audience makes the ac¬ quaintance of the principal charac- ters, the plot begins to develop some highly dramatic altuations. It is a searching, psychological| study of what happens to a

a fine, Etrong man when he falls into the clutches of the green-eyed monster jealousy Powerful complications ensue that lead up to a startling elimax, and in the end the story is brought to a happy conclusion by a

onclusion unique twist of fate.

The flawless acting of Lois Wil- son and Edward Horton, featured in the excellent supporting cast goes a long way towards making this pic-| ture the greatest Farnum produc-| tion to date. "..
