THE CRIMSON PLAYGOER

Modern and Beacon

"The Witching Hour", a successful film adaptation of Augustus Thomas' well-known play by the same name, is the feature on this week's bill at the Modern and Beacon Theaters. Dealing with the theory of will power and the control of mind over matter, the plot is of interest, although not worked out very skillfully. In "The Little Clown" Mary Miles Minter cleverly interprets her part as the circus girl who falls in love with a wealthy young Southerner. It is a surprise and disappointment to find that this story, written by Avery Hapwood, author of many-comedy successes, is treated in such an ordinary manner.
