membered for his fine achievement. Blind
Husbands.” is responsible for a /work of
similar caliber in “The Devil. Pass
Key.” which comes to the Ohio Theater,

As “Blind Husbands" was a tale or
the eternal triangle enacted against an
Alpine setting so "The Devil's Pass
Key ’ Is an identical story laid against a
Parisian background.
The picture is peopled with characters
which are genuine.
The entangling threads of conflict
bring them together in scenes which are
Intense with action and suspense. Mr.
Stroheim, in collaboration with Baroness
de Meyer, has conceived r story which
builds surely and vividly to its tremen
dous climax.
His art is displayed in his ability to
arrange his scenes compactly, and his
atmosphere entitles him to rank as one
of the leading directors of motion pic
tures. A faithfulness to detail is appar
ent in every scene. The players are ideal
selections for their various roles, it is
said.
