'As the story of "Peter Vernon's Silence" is unfolded on the screen the actors graphically bring to the surface the elements that prompted Peter Vernon to forfeit his freedom and take the responsibility ot a crime committed by his foster-brother. To the dramatic climax the noble qualities of that mute appeal to humanity, "As we forgive them," are strikingly manifested.'
