 THE BLACK BIRD" AT PALACE THURSDAY


 In the dual role which he is playing in Tod Browning's "The Black Bird" coming to the Palace this Thursday, Lon Chaney is at tempting one of the most difficult acting feats ever performed by any actor.
 !. It is not difficult to realize this when it is understood that the dual role is being accomplish ed without restoring to -any false noses, whiskers or facial deformi- ties of any kind.
 Chaney plays the part of an East End London crook, sought for by Scotland Yard in one char acterization, and the other role is that of the Bishop of Lime house, a kindly soul. loved and pitied by everyone on account of his deformed condition.
 The true test of Chaney's ability is that the two characters appear entirely dissimilar to each other. even though they bear the same features.
 Renee Adoree plays the lead ing feminine role in this Tor Browning production. while Ower Moore essays a very important role. The story is an original by Tod Browning, the director, and was adapted to the screen by Waldemar Young.

 Two concrete instances can be found in the cast of "The Out sider," the William Fox produc- tion of "The Outsider" Dorothy Brandon's stage success which will open tomorrow at the Coli scum. Anyone might envy tho value which producers place on the services of Joan Standing and Gibson Gowland, both of whom have roles in this interesting ste ".
 Miss Standing is rated as one of the cleverest feminine players in all Hollywood and while she never emerged victorious from a beauty contest she declares she would not at this minute change places with Gloria Swanson. Fos she finds too much genuine enjoy ment in the creation of film fig ures that are far more unique than the work of a mere leading woman.
 Then there's Gibson Gowland whose performance of McTeague in Greed" is screen history. Yet he is clumsily built, with prom. nent, irregular features and shag gy eyebrows that hero might consider hopeless disfigurement. Gowland. on the other hand, has capitalized these doubtful gifts os providence into crisp dollars.
