A NT OF V?MICK A Supreme Adaption of Shakespeare There nave been ec reen adaptions ot HM* great dramatist's plays In days past-a number of them - und th** greatest acton of tho world huve played thi' pa rta, without doubt th? Smalley*' Tour wi productions, ndnp t';i from "The Merchant of Venice" under the "Universal Special Feature" brand, will stand a long time us tho upex of perfection, it is one of the most elaborate, from the point of costly costumes and scenery, that the Universal Manufacturing company has ever turned out. So careful have thc Smalley bee nto render the pro duction technically correct that many of the Venetian street scenes were done four or five times before they would answer the specific require ments of the producers. Confident that this play would stand in all time to come as an ex ample of their ability-as the master piece hy which all other of their works would he judged, they have put Into the production their sovereign efrortH. thc utmost skill und inspira tion a?, their command^ T?tere is no question about the result ; the impres sion left is that only tho diviue spark of genius could have udauted, produc ed am', ected out the parts of this play. All onion In the play which ls re fet red to In the lines, hut whlch-dowr not luke place upon the stage, has boon ahowu In the screen production. Consequently the singe version has not been followed scene for scene, but many scenes which stago limitations bar have been injected into the piece. For this reason alone the film pro duction will prove of great Interest. Phillips Smalley has essayed the nu) : OP Shylock, aad Lola Weber, Por tia.^ If there has been any doubt aa to Mr. Smalley's worthiness to take his place in the front rank of the greatest contemporary screen artists it will be shadowed on viewing the present play. Mr. Smalley ls a tho rough student of Shakespeare, having plared leads in- many of his plays before entering motion pictures Mr Smalley IB also a keen student of huttm nature. This is plainly re flected in Ids characterization of Shy lock, an Interpretation that ls origi nal fresh andj, ^vigorous. , The BIJOU Will Show This Immortal Drama TO-DAY-~Aprittst 4 Big Reels 10c.
