Really, one is so busy with the “legitimate that critics scarcely deign to look at pictures. I'ntil the art of being in several places at the same time, is discovered, critics of the drama will be unable to do either justice or injustice to the screen. However, 1 found time the other day to visit a projection room, and see a film entitled 'Du Barry’ with Miss Theda Bara a* the eminent lady in question, and I mention this because althoughI went under protest. I stayed to enthuse. It is really a remarkable film,and the acting of Miss Bara, whomT had never hitherto appreciated, was delightful. She accentuated . thelighter and breezier side of Du Barry's character. She showed her witchery, her fascination, and her power with men. 1 remember Mrs. Leslie Carter's i impersonation, with the emphasis all on the “sob stuff. Miss Theda Bara skimmed lightly over the tragedy of ’ Du Barry’s life, and 1 thought theidea happy. The film was magnificently produced. Really pictures are beginning to do a great deal of signlfi-i cant work, and the stage will soon be 1 forced to tit up and take notice-—ifi the stage isn't already doing that* • *
