At the Strand

A story of exceptional power has
been provided by Eugene O'Brien in
"Gilded Lies" the Selznick picture

where it will remain for a run of
three days.
In the play Mr.. O'Brien plays the
part of a young explorer whose
fiancee marries. in his absence, an
absolutely Objectionable creature,
whose only attraction is his wealth.
Full of thought OF revenge, Keene
McComb hurries to New York. but
when he finds his former sweet
heart has been coerced into the mar
riage and that her life is made mis-
cradle by the cad who is her hus-
band, he decides to devote his life
to her rescue.
Tremendously dramatic is the sit
uation which brings about the eli
max, unexpected as it is startling and
logical. for it illustrates the old say
ing that he who lies shall never
prosper.
Apart from the splendid perform
ance given by Eugene O'Brien. Mar
tina Mansfield as his leading woman,
and Frank Whitson and George
Stewart deserve special mention for
their thoroughly convincing portray
al Of their various roles.
