 House Peters is one of the few screen actors of today who could successfully portray the role of Blair Cornwall in this thrilling story from the pen of May Edington, and which was adapted to the screen by Bradley King. The type re- vealed in Lying Lips" is that of a rugged, Zig souIed, courageous Canadian unafraid of hardshps and adventure. The ordinary screen hero accustomed to doing the usual society or business man role could not hope to portray it. It calls for a special type, and House Peters is unquestionably that type.
