ROXY

“WOMAN TO WOMAN” When two women and a man find their happiness entangled and two of them, their honour jeopardised and the name of their son in the balance, the web of tragedy which is woven is, in consequence, great. Such is the dramatic note which sounds in the Cinema Art Films’ all-talking picture, “Woman to Woman.” which comes to the Roxy Theatre today.. The eternal triangle again, but who is the most important party? Which one deserves the happiness? In “Woman to Woman,” -the three members of the eternal triangle are played by Betty Compson, George Barraud and Juliette Compton. Barraud is

seen as the young British officer who, when on leave in France meets and falls in love with a pretty dancer. He promises to come back to marry her, but is called to action, where he is injured in the trenches. His memory gone, he returns to England, where he marries another

woman. Tears later he meets the dancer, and his memory revives. From then on there is an entanglement, into which many tensely dramatic sequences are interwoven. Betty Compson plays the role of the charming little French dancer, and stresses her vocal ability in the many songs which are sung by her. Juliette Compton, one of the screen’s most accomplished artistes, plays the part of the wife. The Roxy’s new programme also includes a number of shorter talkie items.
