PRINCESS
“THE TENDER HOUR” The combination of artistry of the first order with the human touch, so eloquent in its appeal as to grip the spectator with a hand of steel, is the thing that brings a motion picture up to the heights that approach sublimity. The subtle touches that present a poignant moment of intense emotion, yet do not fail to create the effect of a beautiful picture—that is the true art of the silent drama. To this end the best efforts of directors, players, cameramen and actors must be directed with that idea inevitably and invariably in their minds. On© of the finest examples of this is to be found in George Fitzmaurice’s production for First National Pictures called “The Tender Hour,” which is now being shown at the Princess Theatre. Despite Xhe suggestion of gentleness in the title, the story is one that teems with drama, with suspense and even with thrills, and the tender hour of love which finally comes to beleagured souls after storm and stress compensates for the tense emotion evoked during the course of the drama.
