Ch&?@@m The art of keeping things moving has been finely masterey in “"The Won:erful Chance,”’ rcleased by Selznick. Itis full of drama i: punch and Las becl conceived with originality and directed with alertness. Dramatic climages are swift and frequent. Best of all, they are convineing. A band of crooks kirlnap an English nobleman, and in sending one of their own to impersonate him, discover that some one else has beaten them at their own game. They decide to doublecrcss the other erook, but he is too quick for them, and their carefully- planned blow ends in an anti ciimax. Eugene O’Brien doubles as the Knglish lord and the \merican who s. closely re- sembles him. He makes a sharp distinetion between bis two characterizations. and is as usual a pleasirg entertainer. Martha Mansfield is a charming vis-a-vis. The picture has been direcied with pep. and everything and everbody has been made subordinate to the projeciion of the story. The crook angle furnishes the thrills, the mistaken iden- tity angle the suspense, and the love interest, though of minor importance, adds the human touch. ~ N7 CLAIb F.
