STRAND
TODAY
TODAY
''The BGt' Comes As A
Superb Mystery Drama
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

An the elements which made
1.-THE Bat' on the stage the most
successful play of excitement
have been crystallized into q
superb screen presentation by
Roland West, which shows at the
Strand Theatre today. @AG
Here we have murder done,
robbery attempted, pursuit frus-
trated, mystery distilled and
double-distilled, solution deferred,
and denouement that is all sur
prise. They are the big ingredients
of fascinating mystery melodrama
masterfully assembled in "The
Bat" as the most ambitious effort
Of the kind in motion pictures.
1.-THE Bat" takes its title from
a super-thug, so designated by the
press and police, and he leaves
upon the scene Of his iepredations
the mark of the bat as the emblem
Of his proves.
The main scene of these stir
ring proceedings is Long Island
house recently vacated by a bank
er now believed dead, occupied now
BY a hard-boiled New York spinster
who is inclined to pooh-pooh any
thing that seems sinister or super
natural. She is gradually put on
the ragged edge by queer goings-
on in the house; ghostly sounds,
strange shots and seuffles, and a
half dozen counterplots in which
which she Is concerned as a parti-
san or as an eyewitness. She de-
termines to hold the fort, and en-
lists q detective and a half dozen
or more friends and servants, and
then before her eyes murder is
done. Anyone of the others in
the household, or near by, may
have done the deed, and in fact
everyone has something to hide,
80 that in the lightning-like
change Of the plot no spectator
can really guess the criminal. "The
Bat" with the magnificent re.
sources of the motion picture, has
been made into a marvel of sweep
ing movement, quicker surprise
and astounding solution for the
screen successes as 1.-THE Unknown
Purple" and "The Monster"
The spinster is played by Miss
Emily Fitzroy, and others in the
notable cast are Andre de Berang-
eF, Charles Herzinger, Louise
Fazenda, Arthur Houseman, Rob-
ert McKim, Jack Pickford, Jewel
Carmen. Sojin KaEiyama, Tullio
carmiEati, Eddie Gribbon and
Lee Subway. Of course, one Of
these must seem to be "The Bat. .
but guessing It is what delights
and battles the audiences.
The production, directed BY
Roland West, and adapted for the
screen by Julien Josephson from
the stage success by Mary Rob-
erts Rinehart and Avery Hop
wood comes as one Of the highly
elaborate United Artists releases.
