nothing has ever. been offered here,
either in spectacular way or from
a dramatic viewpoint that could COM
more's work in DIR. Jekyll and Mr..
HYDE"
The only ~other performance that
could be mentioned in the same
breath is the characterized ton of the
two famous roles by the late Richard
Mansfield. But even great as was the
work of Mansfield, the thousands
who have seen Barrymore's screen
version declare that he has out
classed the other noted actor. Mans
field made his Hyde a hideous per-
sonage. Barrymore makes Hyde re-
pulsive. cruel, degenerate, but at the
same time he is still human being.
Artistically. physically and histrion-
ically, Barrymore's version is the SUI
perior of anything that has ever been
attempted.
The plot. as is well known, has as
its central figure young London
Physician. DR.. Jekyll. whose tender
heartedness is exceeded only by his
all-absorbing interest in his chosen
profession, and his scientific investi-
cations. He is in love with an in
nocent, beautiful girl, Millicent Ca
rev. Her father, Sir George Carew,
is famous man about town. DR..
Jekyll is persuaded by Sir George to
accompany him to a low music hall.
From this experience. Jekyll is led to
experiment with a liquid that will
separate the good and evil in man
into two distinct bodies. He evolves
such a drug, administers it to him
self and becomes not only Jekyll, the
doctor philanthropist. but also Hyde,
misshapen, evil brute. Gradually
the Hyde side of his character over
masters Jekyll and. after stirringly
dramatic scenes, he succumbs Only
after his death is the dual character
of his personality revealed.
Martha Mansfield is Mr.. Barry
more's leading woman.
Four performances of the immortal
story by Robert Louis Stevenson will
be given. two today and two tomor-

DEEP PURPLE"
TIES EMOTIONS
INTO A KNOT

Gripping may be an over worked
word in describing motion picture
plays, but it is just the one that fits
when THE Deep Purple" is men
toned. This heart-stirring Realart
production will be seen at the Colo
NAL theatre today and it is sure to
be greeted by big audiences, for it is
the kind Of play that ties the emo
tons into a knot and makes one
want to even hold his breath for fear
he may miss some of the intensity
OF the acting on the screen.
THE Deep Purple" is another
great screen success for which thea
tre-soers have to thank r. A. Walsh.
Following faithfully the stage play
by Paul Armstrong and Wilson Miz-
ner, it is a melodrama that is free
from the cheap trickery and exag-
serated situations that usually fea-
ture. some film thrillers
In the cast are Miriam Cooper in
the leading role, with Stuart Sage
playing opposite and Vincent Serrano
as the villain. Miss Cooper makes
most appealing country girl and
Stuart Sage is a real two listed min
ing engineer who brings into the
story the wholesomeness of the great
outdoors. Helen Ware. who will be
remembered best as Broadway star,
does some character work as an I'M
derworld type which makes a deep
impression on the audience. 1t is
through this character that Director
Walsh carries his message of good.
The sincere effort of this woman to
prevent the dragging down of an in
nocent, winsone girl into the abyss
OF indecency that is the lot of all
women of the underworld wins great
sympathy from the audience.
There are all the elements in this
play which go to make up good en-
tertainment
But today's program at the Colo
NAL is not all heavy by any. means.
"One Cylinder Love Riot" is the title
of Century comedy that is all the
title suggests and then some. Many
of the Century girls appear in the
picture and thay are beauties of the
first water. The Universal Screen
Magazine and Kilograms complete
the program.-Adv.
