"PRISONER OF zENDA" HAILED AS TRIUMPH OF MIGRANTS SKILL
Lewis Stone And Alice Terry Star In Attraction At

Once in great while there comes a motion picture which can be hailed as almost perfect. Such a picture is the Rex Ingram production for Metro of the famous story.

This photoplay, based on Anthony Hopes novel, has been gorgeously mounted by the Metro company, and the excellent cast which in earlier days would have been la abelled all ll-star"-shows the inspired direction of that young wiz ard of the screen. Rex Ingram.
 No one who has thrilled to the call of romance should fail to see this ex traordinary picture, which is packed full of action Intrigue and devilish plotting is matched against heroic endeavor and ultimate virtory for the loyal adherents of the ruler of the little kingdom of Ruritania The set tings are magnificent. The corona tion, the processions, the royal ball are massive, beautiful and impressive. Here is sword play intrigue. danger. plots, beauty. action and charm.
 Lewis Stone as the Englishman, who by the vagaries of fate was cdlltu upOH lOI d llllle to III HlpeTSOIldle e the king, gives a flawless perform ance in the rual role. Alice Terry, beautiful as a lily, moves charming ly through the love interest of the picture to the ultimate renunciation of her hearts desire. Robert Edeson as the faithful Colonel Sapt gives q splendid performance of a character which has infinite appeal Others who make these well-known charac- ters come to life with faithful reality are Stuart Holmes as Duke Michael, Ramon Navarro as Rupert of Hent- zau, Barbara La Marr as Antoinette de Mauhan, Malcolm McGregor as Count Von Tarlenheim. Edward Con nelly as Mashall Won StraHenez.
 The photography. which Is of un- usual excellence, is by John F. Seftz.

AT THE LYRIC

Cradles and ladies' fashionable dressmakers don't exactly fit to- sether, but they are used for a most amusing situation in "Lombardi Ltd," the comedy being offered by the resident company at the Lyric. Incidentally, the cradle gives good line on Tito Lombardi's business sense. He bought it when the firm was almost bankrupt, just because it once sheltered a famous baby. Lom bardi, one of the most delightful characters ever brought to the stage. is portrayed by John G. MacFarlane. Hazel Corinne and the other members of the Lyric resident company give pleasing interpretations of theE fa- nous roles of "Lombardi. Ltd.' Next week '"The Bad Man." a tale of thrills and laughter on the Mexican border, will be presented.
