"The Moment Before. /"

It is in the widely contrasting roles
of duchess and a gypsy that Pauline
Frederick is seen in "The Moment Be
fore" which the Grand announces as
its Wednesday offering. The picture
is an adaptation Of Israel ZangWill' s
drama. The ex1eriors were photo
graphed in Florida, and these are no
table in their pictorial effect.
The story is shown in inverted
form. The first reel and half is Of
the duchess who gives freely of her
time and money to charity. AS her
life draws suddenly to a close follow
ing the accidental death Of the duke
the scene fades into a gypsy camp,
with the gfay-haired duchess as a
black haired gypsy looking eons
scernedly On fierce fight of two rivals
for her hand. The subject contains
an abundance Of action.
In the role of Madge Miss Fred
ericl1 makes a striking gypsy. She
becomes the bride of John the Gypsy
through force, not through consent.
It is primitive lovenaking on the part
of the man. The real affection of the
gypsy woman comes to the surface
when she meets Harold, the younger
son Of the Duke of Maldon. 1t is
the intervention of two trag-
edies, the death of the older brother.
1t the hand Of John and the shooting
of John by Madge to prevent him kill
ing Harold, that the way is cleared
for thegypsy to become the duchess.

"John Needham's Double >

At the Grand next Thursday, in
John Needham's Double" Tyrone
Power, impersonating both the char
acter of John Needham and Joseph
Norbury, will, aided by the magic of
the motion picture camera, be shown
in the act of conversing with himself
-chatting in friendly manner with
himself during short walks, moving
about in the same room in animated
scenes, smoking, drinking and pleas
antly entertaining himself; finally
pouring out the poison which he
drinks himself, and in the end ex-
changing clothes with himself and
walking out of the room, leaving his
own body lying dead upon the floor.
John Needham has been made the
guardian Of a boh who would become
millionaire uash reaching his ma
jority. Needh@m packed the boy off
to boarding Uehool The boys sur
roundings were distasteful; he fled
and was heard of no more.
The prohigate Needham spent all
the bows fortune, and when time
came to settle he faced disgrace and
imprisonment. Needham's cousin,
Joseph Norbury, looked as much like
Needham as the second pea in a pod.
Their friends saluted them with the
names Of each other; strange things
happened to them because of their
striking resemblance. This resem-
blance led to the crime committed by
John Needham.
