ENTERTAINMENT.
A FINE MELODRAMA.
Revivified, brought up to date and with a star cast, including Madge Bellamy in the name role, “Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl,” screens at the Town Hall on Friday. This once famous melodrama of an older day proves to be a surprisingly fine entertainment, pulsing with action, gripping in its suspense and absorbingly interesting as a story. Produced by Fox Films under the direction of Irving Cummings, this photodrama holds one’s breathless attention from the time Miss Bellamy is shown as the little sweatshop worker in New York until she is captured by her Prince Charming. There is plenty of excitement in this picture. One of the outstanding nerve-tinglers being the sequences showing the chase in a high-power boat amid the congested traffic of New York harbour. With comedy, scenic, and News. Usual prices.
Peter B. Kyne’s “The Understanding Heart,” telling for the first time the fascinating tale of the Forest Rangers, the perils and adventures they meet from day to day, and the deep love that lies in the hearts or these dwellers in the lonely outposts, will head Saturday’s big programme at usual prices.
