THE CAVELL FILM
MR BERNARD SHAW IMPRESSED NOT A SINGLE STROKE OF BITTERNESS. LONDON, February 19. (Received February 20, at 9.10 a.m.). Mr Bernard Shaw, after seeing the Cavell film, ‘Dawn,’ stated: “It is irresistible. The only question to be considered is whether it is worthy as a work of art. Take my word for it that there is a moving and impressive reincarnation of the heroine by our greatest tragic actress, whose dignity keeps the whole story on the highest .plane. The producer has not betrayed a single stroke of bitterness or rancour. The film can be shown in Germany without provoking a single German to tell us that people living in glass-houses ought not to throw stones. I hope that ‘ Dawn ’ can take its lesson to the ends of the earth.”
