THE FILM “DAWN"
RECEPTION ONLY CORDIAL. MANY EXCISIONS MADE. By Telegraph—Press Assn —Copyright. Received April 8, 5.5 p.m. A. and N.Z. . London, April 7. Despite the warfare waged over the film “Dawn,” its reception at the Palladium was nothing more than cordial, and there were a number of empty seats at the first performance. The musical setting, being largely Beethoven, helps in ennobling the genuinely tragic ingAs far as the final scene is concerned, the cutting has been much more extensive than was publicly demanded. Not only has the shooting of the German private Rammler been excised, but also Nurse Cavell’s fainting at the last and the German lieutenant’s decision to take her life while she is unconscious. The graves of Nurse Cavell and of Rammler »re no longer shown side by side. The public merely see Nurse Cavell facing the firing squad and the scene is thence taken straight to the lonely grave.
