ELINOR GLYX’fi STORY TO-XrOIIT

Elinor Gl.vii demonstrates In the picture " Love's Blindness,” which will he shown at the Princess Theatre to-night that she knows well the public’s taste in pictures as well as in fiction. The film was produced hy Alct.ro-Goldwyn-Mayef from .Mine, Glyn’s popular novel of the same name. Most pictures end up with a marriage, hut l.ove’s Blindness ” opens up with one. Pauline Starke as Vanessa Levy, the London money-lender’s daughter, and Antonio Moreno, as Hubert C'ulverdale, the Eighth Karl of St. Anstel. who enters the match to save his friends from bankruptcy, are the principals, and the elaborate wedding scene is one of the features of the film. Although even the most casual student of the drama realises that the separated lovers will be reconciled before the end, one is kept in suspense as to how this will be achieved. Not until the final lade-out is one rjuite positive that the mercenary mating lias become a union of happy love. The high lights ol the picture are the plausible performance of Miss Starke as the girl, who. although cultured and wealthy, would permit lierselt to enter an arranged marriage; the performance of Antonio Moreno as a man to whom love comes despite himself; and the performance of Sam T)e Cras.se as the moiicy-leiider, wlm would barter his daughter for social prestige. Kor all who love a romance set apart from the workaday world the picture is highly I recommended. A good supporting programme will also he shown, including a topical and two-reel comedy.
