“The Twelve Pound Look.” 29 min. F.S. This is a typical Barrie sketch of English life – the story of an over-bearing Brittisher who regards his own personal success above everything in the world and sacrifices everybody and everything to it. Miss Barrymore’s part of the wife who abandons the boor is delightfully played and she gets the most out of every one of the bright lines. Held the interest of an immense house right up to the unexpected finish. Big advance applause and a big closing hand. This being Miss Barrymore’s home town, of course, we look for a continuance of phenomenal business.
