REVIEWED BY CHARES E. WAGNER.
Literally, the genuine dramatic meat has been taken from
the famous novel by Sir Gilbert Parker and transferred to
the screen in the Screen Classics filmization “The Right of
Way/’which gives to the screen world an artistic offering
from the first to the last. There is no doubt of the strong
underlying interest that can be found in this dramatic ex
position. It is a story quite unusual inasmuch as it steps
away from the beaten path and offers a compact amount of
undiluted human interest which manifests itself in a strong
appeal to the heart.
There is seldom round a story that presents a character
with the strength as is found surrounding the hero of this
tale. It holds the attention until one can really feel the trials
and sorrows in which Charley Steele goes through in his
quest for contentment. There is action in abundance, and
interwoven with heart interest and a quaint story, causes
one to be held spell-bound through the seven reels.
After speaking so thoroughly upon the story and its en
tertaining possibilities a word must be said here regarding
the perfect character analysis of Bert Lytell as the cynical
Charley Steele. Upon his characterization depends a large
amount of the success from the dramatic point of view. He
plays his part with a desire to convince and this he 'does
with success. It is an exposition of acting abilities that can
not in justice to the production, go unnoticed. Bert Lytell,
with an air of direct understanding offers his role with an
ease and yet withal, force, that stamps him as one of the
best actors of his kind in the motion pictures today. It is a
pleasure to witness such a performance as he gave in this
production. Gibson Gowland, as Jo. Portugals, offers an*
other strong and appealing foie. He plays his part in a
manner deserving every praise.
An even continuity has been supplied "affording a gradual
unfolding of the story which greatly improves the rapidity
of the plot development. Care has been exercised in refer
ence to every detail. The costuming of this particulnr pe
riod has likewise been presented with well maintained at
mosphere. Artistic lighting effects and able direction
throughout mark this production. “The Right of Way” is a
complete entertainmeut for the better class of picture au
diences. ^
This master production will be exhibited at the JEWEL
THEATRE, McCrory, Friday, April 23, 1920, with no raise
in the price of admission. Remember the date and be sure
