Unsatisfactory

"Wuther ug Heights" Held Disappointing London, May 15.

The past few we have London two notable examples im Wuthering Heigh's and Jamai:

Inn." In both instances no care or expense have been spared. The directors are the most expert procurable and the casts of quite unusual brilliance. But in neither instance is the result satisfactory.

It seems to be fairly clear that in attacking such a well known literary classic Wuthering Heights" producer and director have been ham-perca by a sort of awe-struck and apologetic consciousness. They fee that they must do the novel justice although they are not deterred from ing liberties with the plot. The consequent result is a rather heavy slowness. The director cannot move and let his technical imagina-e are Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda a "tops" picture.

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
