RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM
“THE WOMAN DISPUTED” In “The Woman Disputed,” now at the Rialto and Regent, Epsom, Theatres, Norma Talmadge in the role ot Mary Ann Wagner gives the finest performance of her career. Her exquisite personal charm, expressive dark eyes, and her beauty and grace of movement have never appeared so alluring. The deep and stirring emotions of grief, fear, love and hate all war with one another in the character she portrays, but at all times her acting is notable for a restraint and discretion in keeping with the spirit of the story. It is a production with scope, conflict, unparalleled emotional reality, and distinctive central situations springing from a powerful heart drama that tingles with the laughter and tears of humanity. The storv deals with a Magdalen who is raised to the level of a patriotic saint —a powerful story of an outcast girl who works out her regeneration. Desired by two men, she sacrifices herself to the one she hates to save the one she loves, placing patriotism above her own honour in the cruellest crisis a woman was ever called to face. “Smiling at Trouble,” starring Lefty Flynn, is the second feature.
