"Sheik 5" Successor L One Of Finest

There are several types OF stories

motion pictures One OF these deals
with the Orient. to witness the ex-
cellent William Fox screen version
Of The Shadow OF the East" (. VI.

for the first time at the Colonial
Theatre yesterday.
Filled with color romance and
thrilling incident, The Shadow OF
the East" casts the spell OF the ORR
ent over the audience at the very
outset and holds il entranCed
through its entirety. 1t concerns
the East in all its most interesting
turous English Earl. Barry Craven,
who yields TO the power OF the ORR

marital alliance with a native girl
which nearly wrecks his life and

Frank Mayo as Barry Craven
gives an excellent performance. He
IS the reckless, Indifferent English
man one might find in the very stu
alton. Lolaire. his Indian bride,
played effectively by Evelyn Brent,
commits suicide when she suspects
that his love is waning Her act
reaches his conscience and casts over
him the shadow OF the East. II is
not until this is lifted that Craven,
though he married Gillian Locke,

with real dramatic moments, in a
manner that reflects much credit up
