KATHERINE MACDONALD
SEEN AT METROPOLITAN

my Lady's Latchkey." a spirited
romantic melodrama derived by First
National from c. NJ and A. NJ Will
liamson's novel. THE Second Latch
key" as a particularly effective star
ring vehicle for Katherine Macdonald,
was presented as chief feature of the
weeks photoplay bill at Crandalrs
Metropolitan Theater yesterday be-
fore audiences that attained overflow
proportions despite the incipient
blizzard that ushered in belated
winter.
An unusually diverting supple
mentary feature was supplied in a new
bonneville comedy, ''The Shippers
Narrow Escape" in which all OF the
interesting characters of Fontaine
Fox's inimita able cartoons are skill
fully impersonated-
The element of mystery Is stressed
at the very outset OF MY Lady's
Latchkey" by the midnight theft of a
famous blue diamond aboard the S.
S. Monarchic. just nearing the cliffs
Of Dover. No clue to the identity Of
the marauder is disclosed until the
story is we'll under way and Annesley
Grayle. a young woman in quest OF
romantic duNcutuTN has piiSntcu htt
troth to a strange but polished young
gentleman who has appealed by odd
means to her sympathies and her
love.
By an astonishing succession of
circumstances 1t Ia then revealed that
Annesley has unwittingly become the
innocent tool of one OF the most dar-
ing bands of jewel thieves known to
the police. At this juncture romance
takes the reins from the faltering
hands OF adventure and evolves a
climax and denouement that stamps
MY Iady's Latchkey" as one OF the
most deftly written and most ex-
pertly developed photodramas the
season has brought to the screen.
Miss Macdonald. whose personal at
tributes are such as to have gained
her eminence among the foremost Of
the feminine stars OF silent drama,
has never been filmed to greater
artistic advantage than in the leading
role OF this engrossing tale Of a love
that triumphed over seemingly in
superable obstacles.
Edmund Lowe, as the preying lover;
Thomas Jefferson, as the victim OF the
plunderers' operations. and claire Du
Brey, as a sinister rival OF the bride
OF the master mind" offer excep-
tional support In roles that are
sharply contrasted.
In addition to the amusing comedy
supplied by Dan Mason and his COM
petent supporting players in 9TH.
Shippers Narrow Escape" the bin for
the week includes a well chosen
symposium Of humorous auips culled
from the press of the nation by the
editorial star OF the Literary Digest's
Topics OF the Day." a now issue OF

In the early pitched battles of the
World war the Germans bore down all
opposition, and the world could not
understand it, Later it was found that
weeks before the fight, they had du-
rlic;lted in the rear OF their own posi-
tion the trenches they. were TO take.
and had fought over the ground, yard
by yard, trench by trench, against OPP
posing forces of their own comrades.
They won the fight before they began
IL. When zero hOur actually arrived,
il found them not simply ready, but
with the victory already won.
The German army is not the only
school in which this lesson is taught.
Life is moderately full of men who
have learned that method. They are
victors before the fight begins because
they have won the battle within them
selves And other men go out defeat
