CARLYTjE BLACRWELL AND JUNE ELVIDGE IN A WORLD FILM MASTERPIECE. 'A relentless exposure o£ the widespread effect o 1 the heartlesanes3 of one light woman, is told in "The Social Leper," the -World Film play commencing at Everybody's matinee to-day. June Elvidge aj "The Social L#per" is attractive and alluring, and yet contrives to portray a woman whose only thought is pleasure, and who only cares for the excitement of the moment. Even the dangerous illness of her baby girl dots not make her pause, and eventually through her, three men's lives become entangled, and are made unhappy. Carlyle Blackwell is likeable and effective as the hero, but to Arthur Ashley the acting honors of this strong drama undoubtedly belong. As the craven murderer of the woman with whom he is infatuated, 1113 acting ia almost unbearable in its .power and grip, and the scene is intensely powerful where he iB cowed into confession by the bullying detective. Evelyn Greeley ia a sweet and winsome heroine, and the whole Supporting cast b good. Ths first part of ths plot is ingeniously told as a reminiscence by the hero, and the sudden desperate action taken by one of the men is the result of the horrifying disclosures made in that part of the narrative. The supports include a Topical Budget, and a Vitagra.ph comedy featuring Harry Daniels.
