Lillian Gish At 1
Capitol in ‘The
Enemy ’ Sunday
The heart-gripping night vigil in
Puccini’s “Madame Butterfly" has a
remarkable parallel in “The Enemy” j
Lillian Gish’s new Metro-Goldwyn- j
Meyer coming to the Capitol Sunday (
and Monday in which under the di- j
rection of Fred Niblo the suspense
of a night vigil has almost the same j
effect though the s'tuation is one }
entirely different.
In the picture based on Channing
Pollock's famous stage play. Pauli
the heroine the role played by Miss
Gish and Carl her lover are mar-
ried on the eve of his call to the i
front during the war. Their last
hours together are before the dawn !
that hurries him away with his j
troops. All night they sit. watching '
the relentless hands of the clock. !
ever moving toward their separation j
perhaps forever.
As worked out in the screen play!
this vigil in the dark is one of the
most dramatic touches in the his-
tory of the screen.
