"A GENTLEMAN AFTER DARK"
Sir,-With regard to G.M.’s criticism of "A Gentleman After Dark," I notice be remarks that "Much of the story of this film takes place in the year 1923," and, if I remember rightly, it was in that year that I saw a film entitled "Heliotrope," which portrayed the silent version of the same story, It was the kind of highly emotional film that. was popular in those days, and many female (and other) hearts were stirred by the "nobility" of the father who could turn his wife into a murderer in order to save the feelings of his daughter. I should like to express my thanks to your paper for its honest endeavour to let people know what to expect-a muchneeded service-and may we soon pro eress above the level of the false senti-
ment of earlier days.-
