Hugh JeffreyCTHEL BARRYMORE haslentadis-tinguished name to the screenbut otherwise she has not givengreatly. For all her famous charm she seems not reachable by thecamera. She proves, alas! too truly, that the grace of youth with its fresh, mobile face, its slender litlie-ness, is the celluloid affinity.But she’s a good investment, for her name is magic. And Metro has centered about her an absorbingly good production in its adaptation of Edward Sheldon’s gypsy play. There is the customary excellent photography telling the picturesque tale of the call of the open road.The gypsies are not glossed over— they steal without apologies—but they are much beaded and sashed,they loom romantic in the half lights of the camp fires, and there is a quaint picturesqueness about the marriage ceremony that is almost poetry in picture.The theme is the persistent love of the two alike in background and temperament, demonstrating that a shawl and a gypsy cart are better than a robe of ermine and an automobile, if one is happier that way. It bears by inference the much-need-to-be-taken-to-heart idea that marriages not based on similarity of tastes are dangerous risks.It is a good looking picture, generally wholesome and ornamentedwith the prestige of Miss Barr more’s prestigeous name.
