LON CHANEY, ONEEYED
VILLAIN

Girls-imaCine q shivery, creepy
play-so mysterious and 90 full OF
shocks that it keeps you breathless-
and still such q beautiful love story
you almost forget the thrills.
That's what Lon Chaney's new pic
ture, "The Road to Mandalay" is.
It's a story that brings sob into
your throat sOmtimes-and other
times it brings your heart there,
when a big thrill happens. And
through it all there's a beautiful
story of the love Of a pretty girl and
a man-and the love of father for
his daughter that is pathetic as it is
beautiful.
The new picture, playing at the
Pythian Thatre, Sunday and Monday
August sth and 9th, has everything
that goes to make what every girl
wants to see. It has mystery and
weird happenings-and Lon Clancy
is positively grewsome in the strange
makeup he wears. That one eye of
his almost gives you the creeps. And
you have to sympathize with him
just the same. He does a wonderful
piece of acting.
Lois Moran plays his daughter
and she's just too charming for
words. Owen Moore plays the hero
and every girl that goes to the
movies knows how Owen can do that.
There's another thrill in Kamiyama
SoJin- who Just oozes menace as
the sinister Chinaman in the picture
