The totality of eFert
in the Universal
special,
**The Virgin of Stumboul.”’
is that of
picturesque
grandeur.
[t is conceived
ard executed
by minds
fascinated
by the mvstery
of oriental
existence,
That
many-sided,
many-colored
iife
grows
in
gorgeons
eos-
tumes
and
decorative
backerounds.
The
color and
aloym,
the riches
and
poverty,
the
luxury
and
wretehednéss
of that older and
narrower
purt
of Constantinople
known
as
Stambou!
are <kilfully visualized,
They
arouse
sensations
of
romantic
wonder
as
pie-
tures.
The
Universal
pieture
is a fine
spectacle
of
generous
treatment,
with
stirring
ensembles
ard
a dash
of melodrama.
Priscilla
Dean
impersonates
a beantiful
beggar
gicl,
an
unveiled
seeker
of alms
in
the
streets,
whose
character
has remained
clean.
ler
¢! a
acterization
has
the splendid
animation
of a bricht
American
girl
whose
energy
of
vouth
is
ballasted
bv
brains.
While
this
may
be
remote
frem
the oriental,
it is very
attractive,
true
to
the
environ-
ment
is Wallace
Beery
as
a wealthy
Sheik with a choice
harem.
He
is
decitodly
repre-
sontative
of the
combined
austerity
and
sensuality
of
oriental
fanaticism.
T'he
balapce
of
the
cast
is satisTactory
without
exception.
With
so
much
1o its eredit
as
a
careful
and
interesting
production.
““The Virgin of Stamboul’’ sheuld
be
as fivorably received
elsewhere
as it was by
a erowded
house
at
the Broadway
Theatve.

that
such
a

‘would

ty’s invitation to join in a

The

says,
that,

tne

in

is within the

that
