MISS ALICE BRADY IN
 THE DANGERS PERIL"

Wonderful double exposure effects, said to be the best ever filmed, in which Miss Brady appears as a Russian ballet dancer and as the. mother of the dancer, are among the notable features in "The Dancers Peril the new World picture, which comes to the Strand theatre on Wednesday and Thursday. The double exposure effects are startling in the ex- treme because Miss Brady appears in those scenes as woman of 40 and as a girl of 20. It is hard to realize that both of the impersonations are by Miss Brady, as the difference in age has been so cleverly marked in her makeup. Many other notable scenes features this pie ture, among them being some gorgeous dance scenes in which Miss Brady is the principal. assisted by Alexis Kosloff, the famous Russian dancer.

From the standpoint of photography, stage set tings, costuming and enactment this production can truly be termed an ex cellent picture.
