"Dr. Jekyli and Mr.. Hyde
ONE NIGHT ONLY :!

This wonderful screen production
will be shown at the Grand Theatre
next Tuesday. The play is reviewed
in a photoplay publication as follows
with the tremendous prestige oi
it's success as a stage vehicle for the
late Richard Mansfield behind it, "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" was bound to
reappear as a screen attraction sooner
or later That the leading role was
placed in the hands of such capable
artist as John Barrymore is a fact
upon which both producers and public
are to be congratulated. The film,
admirably directed, beautifully photo
graphed and presented by capable
cast, ranks not only as Barrymore
triumph but silent drama classic of
unusual Strength.
"Barrymore's Clyde" the creature
Of unadu1terated degeneracy, fairly
reeks with hideous suggestion Of un-
told wickedness, he is not merely q
sinner de luxe, but Sin incarnate, the
very quintessence Of raging evil. In
striking contrast to this offspring Of
darkness stands out in bold relief the
lovable figure of Jekyll, the philan-
throplc physician, whose heart over
flows with kindness for his fellow
men.
''The resources Of the camera enable
the change from Hyde to Jekyll and
VICE versa TO be maue WrUn such per-
fection Of illusion as could never be
attained upon the stage and the
photography throughout is so skill
fully handled as to bring out the full
strength of the dramas thrilling sit
uation in almost horrifying detail:
'Mr. Mr.Barrymore justifes the terrible
responsiveness of the characte by the
truth and power of his impersonation.
It is worthy to rank along side of the
Mephistopeles of Henry Irving and
the Bertuccio of Edwin Booth The
screen has never before known such
great acting
