son Ford and writes letter telling
him go, he follows her to the beach
and says. "All right, if you wont go TO
England with me we'll both stay right
here" And SO they arc married. And
in England. when all of the meddlng
relations try to separate them, do they
succeed? OF course not, because the
young husband and wife act like real
people and not like people on the screen
usually act.
The role Of Ginger seems to have
been written for Norma Talmadge. but
then every one says that Of any role
Miss Talmadge essays. Her natural
ness is her greatest charm Harrison
Ford also plays with that nice reprcs-
sion which has characterized his per
tormanccs ever since he played
Madame H." or whatever tho name OF
the picture was that brought him TO
the screen about four years ago.
The role Of Clifford Standish s a
little different from anything Mr.. Ford
has done with Miss Talmadgc before
He is a much younger son who is sent
to the island of Jamaica by fnmiv ot
cfcte lords and poverty stricken ladies
who do not appreciate him. Here he
is engaged in the jolly pastime Of
drinking himself to death. when Ginger
takes hold Of the household rcins in
the capacity Of housekcepcr. She
makes man Of Standish. and that is
"Love's Redemption
The supporting cast is excellent.
Montague Love is seen in small and
disagrceablc role. and Cooper ClHc is
seen in p still smaller but cmncntv
respectable role There is also fleet
ing glimpse of T.. Fernandez, who is
the villain with Mmc. Pctrova in "Thc
White Peacock He is a villain still
in "Love's Rcdemption' Ida Water
man, Michael Barnes and Fraser Coul-
ter complete the cast. Anthony Paul
Kelly made the continuity, but We doubt
if he Is responsible for some Of the
jumps in the first part of the story
! when titles hold q series of pictures
together. Features often prove too
long for theatcr programs. The pic
ture was directed by Albert Parker
The comedy is a Mack Sennctt, called
"Bc Reasonable" There is also on the
| program another one Of those interest
ing pictures OF the great American
authors series which Kineto is doing
This one is Edgar Allan Poe
Herbert Watros is back at the
Strand and he is singing "On the Road
to Mandalay.' Richard Bold and Eldora
| Stanford are heard in vocal pro
loguc to the feature picture. The over
! ture is "Rhapsodie Roumanc.'
Theodore Koslof is the real star in
"Thc Lane That Had No Turning." a
| Sir Gilbert Parker story which has
| been put on the screen BY Victor Flem-
ing and is presented by Adolph Xukol
at the Rivoli this week. Agnes Ayres
is the advertised star, but the roll OF
Madelinette is entirely subservient tC
that Of Louis Racine, the un ortunate
seigneur, who waved the French flag
and forgot that he was British sub
jcct.
Mr. KosloT gives magnificent per
| formance of a most difficult role. His
gift of pantomime has been used to
good advantage ever since he drew
attention to himself in very small
role in "The Woman God Forgot =
few seasons back.
The story opens with the wedding
of Madelinctte and Louis. She is I
blacksmiths daughter who has wol
fame with her voice. He is distant
cousin of the old scgncur. who dies
suddenly without Will. At the we'd
ding feast the news is brought tc
Louis that he has inherited his ole
relatives title and estate, and at tho
same moment a disagrceable old scrv-
ant crecps up to warn him that there
have been hunchbachs IN every gencr
alton, and that it IS his turn. Sure
enough, while his beloved young Wit,
is in Europe on all operate tour the
dread hump gradually appears, and te
make matters worse Hahlon Hamilton
arrives at this time with letter from
the deceased seigneur saying: Il an
leaving you everything in my will.
And now to find the will Aye, there's
the slub.
The story is ditinct departure from
anything that has been done on the
screen before. and therefore would be
welcome if it had nothing else tc
whether this picture is going to be tc
the liking of a maiority of the spec
tators, but emphatically it is to oul
liking. Only once did it verge on the
banal but we sroaned when Fournel
offered TO save Louis if Madelinettt
would accept his advances, and he hat
seen her only once before, and he
seemed like a decent sort Of fellow
and then he became still more bana
when ne said: u was a cynic, but yol
have made we believe in women.
didn't know there were any like you.
Oh, why couldn't they have left ou
that very old stuff?
Mahlon Hamilton is his usual hand
some. dignitied self as Fourncl, am,
Agnes Ayres is attractive as the youn
wife. but, as we said before, the laurel
go to Kosloff. There is no one VIII
can pile on the agony and enjoy it lik
9 those sad-eyed. temperamental Rus
slams. Others in the cast are Wilto
Taylor, Frank Campeau and Lilla
I Leighton. The scenario was made b
: Eugene Mullin.
The only other picture feature o
the program is "Carmen," with &c,
aldinc Farrar Wallace Reed and Pcdr
, de Cordoba. This picture has been syl
chronized with the music OF Bizct
opera and takes half an hour in tn
showing. 1t was at the R;alto la.
