Summary
Heralded by critics throughout the country as Maurice Tourneur's 'greatest masterpiece,' 'Lorna Doone' opens at the Queen's Theatre today. Tourneur's fictionalization of Blackmore's novel has attracted worldwide attention. Critics declare that 'Lorna Doone' far outstrips even 'Treasure Island' and 'The Blue-bird,' which won Tourneur such acclaim. Madge Bellamy, endeared to the public by her work in Thomas H. Ince's 'Hail the Woman,' plays the title. Others in the cast include John Bowers, Frank Keenan and Donald MacDonald.
