...pictures now on view at the University Theatre are distinctly above average, especially for these parts. "The Wind" with Lillian Gish as the little girl buffeted by the breezes is a rather good film of the melodramatic sort.

She was a lady taking an Italian lesson; she was a Cockney girl on the Thames embankment; she was a Philadelphia matron at a children's party; she was a Polish actress, having scenes with her director; she was an English horsewoman, mouthing at her breakfast; she was a U.
