j There has been no more remarkable
character portrayal in the history of
the photodrama than that, of Conrad
. LeGrande In the current production at
the "Victoria theatre on Thursday of
Clune's great picturization of "The
Eyes of the World." Down to the last
minute detail Vt ts a triumph in that
branch' of the actor's' art that in these
days is mastered by so few players.
So startling is the characterization
at many points. that , a. dramatic, re
viewer in the west referred to this,
work of Monroe 'Salisbury as an ac
complishment as worthy of stpdy as if
it had been done - on canvas by an
artist of the brush. This critic re
viewed Salisbury ' on the general
theme, , "How to Paint . a , Portrait, in
Grease Paint." and Salisbury's reply
throws an, interesting light on one of
the fascinating phases of the actor's.
: art. .: He. said:
' "It is'-hard to say Just how a cer
tain role lsrplanned and executed, but
I do know this while I was study
ing, a new role the character that T
' am to portray' is visualized In my mind.
I can see the character' -pert ectlv;" he
.becomes very real to me,- and there
fore I know exactly hpw I must , ap
j.'pearf Each and. every movement comes
naturally, as -for the time I am play
insr I am not acting1, I am that char
acter." v

Andrew Quick is an explorer backed
. by wealthy interests which send him
into the South Seas to study the na
' tlves and various aspects of the coun
try. Traveling; in one of ) the remote
islands with a' small bodyguard, he is
set upon by fierce savages who kill
.off his followers and take Quick pris
' oner. " . ; ,
Held by the natives he is visited by
ft dartc-sklnned girl who longs to go
' to the lands of the white men, of which
: ehe has heard in a vague and distant
way. She begs to be allowed to go
with him, and secretly gives him the
means of freeing himself. A native
'lover of the woman witnesses his es-
cape. Killing the woman who wag re
sponsible, the huge savage chases
Quick to the top of a high cliff, -where
they fight to the death.
By super-human effort: Quick throws
the savage into -the. sea.. Later he Is
rescued by a relief expedition. It is
" then he goes back home to face the
"most remarkable situation Imaginable,
that of answering to - a woman who
thinks he has proposed to her, while
In truth he - had been . trying to pro
pose to her niece.

Garson's special , production, "The
Hushed Hour." adapted from Gertrude
Brooke Hamilton's popular story of
the same title,-by Charles Malgne, and
produced under the direction of :Ed-
mund Martimer, is the strongest at
traction ehown during the current
year at the Victoria theater, opening
today.
In the opinion of the critic, Blanche
Sweet, whom patrons of the picture
theater ill remember -as , the star of
"The Unpardonable Sin," .also pro
duced by Mr, Garson, gives the finest
performance of her lontf aid success-
iui career before the camera. Her
versatility .has never before been bet
ier mustratea than in the portrayal
oi ner :oie or Virginia Blodeett. Over
the scUe of dramatic emotions, Miss
Sweet runs with all the artistry of an
expert pianist In drawing from the
secret recesses of the piano its sweet
est and most vibrant harmonies.
