ON THE SCREEN.
“ The sV3or»al Fabric.” The solemn nonsense that is often talked about Free Love is sharply exposed in “ The Moral Fabric,” the powerful Triangle play screened at Matamata on Saturday next. The eternal triangle is acted by Frank Mills with Howard Hickman and Edith Reeves. The latter is especially convincing as the idle wife who listens to the “ Cheap Jack of the Golden Truth,” and his seductive philosophy. Howard Hickman portrays the wealthy clubman who is an active exponent of his lawless creed, and for once in this play, such a man meets his fitting fate. The story is set in wonderful surroundings. It opens in the luxurious mansions of the New York Smart Sat, and changes to Venice, Monte Carlo and the Riviera. The latter scenes are. amazingly beautiful. The ending is a dramatic surprise which departs from all the usual sentimental forgiveness which often ruins a good plot. A special programme is completed with a Triangle comedy of 2000 ft, and a Gaumont Graphic.
