“THE ONE WOMAN”
A GIANT SPECIAL It can be truly said that only once in the proverbial “Blue Moon” is a picture of the calibre of Richard Barthelmes’s giant special, “The One Woman,” to be seen. Convincing, realistic, spectacularly produced and directed, to its most minute detail, “The One Woman,” First National’s great romance of an East side pug and a little dancing girl, is a picture perfect in stagecraft. The story is splendidly developed, absorbingly human, and the acting of little Molly O’Day as the lady with the past, and Dick Barthelmess as the smashing, fighting hero, calls forth superlatives. The shadowy background of war provides some wonderful sequences, especially those showing the Tank Corps in action, while the comedy, the grimness and the thrills guarantee perfect entertainment. Molly O’Day has firmly established herself for stardom, and the vital Richard has registered a complete K.O. as this virile character of Rupert Hughes. Directed by A 1 Santell, this is a masterpiece of co-ordinated romance and thrills, with laugh-enticing titles.
