ADJUSTMENTS.
DR.. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde With Sheldon
Lewis in the Leading Role to Be At
traction at Latchis Theatre.

The management of the Latchis Theatre
have announced that on Monday it will
present to the picture lovers of Brattle-
boro screen version of Robert Louis
Stevenson's masterpiece, DIR. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde, in which Sheldon Lewis, the
distinguished Broadway tragedian, will es-
say the leading role.
Mr.. Lewis will be supported by large
and notable cast, which includes Gladys
Field, Alexander Shannon, Harold For
shay, Leslie Austin and Dora Mills Adams.
This picture has attracted great interest
in New York and elsewhere from the
fact that just. now there are two claimants
for the honor of being the best Jellyll
and Hyde on the screen. One is Sheldon
Lewis and the other is John Barrymore
Both men present very interesting stud
les of Stevenson's great character, and
while they differ in many respects, it is
extremely hard for even a trained critic TO
say who is the better
In some of the scenes, particularly those
in which Mr.. Hyde has the centre of the
screen, Mr.. Lewis seems to bring out the
distorted horror of DR.. Jekylfs baleful
double with greater effectiveness.
The production has been mounted with
an eye to making the rendition of the
story extremely dramatic. and a fortune
has been spent on the reading titles, which
embody many new and novel departures
Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde will play at
the Latchis Theatre only one day
