Testifying to the popularity of Lon
CLANCY in Washington, 1.-The I'm

it's house to standing room on the
first day of it's week at Loew's
Palace.
THE Unknown" is a story of the
circus, with all the vivid color and
drama of that life blended skillfully
into a very human story. Lon
CLANCY is cast as a deformed wonder
of the circus. who loves the daughter
of the owner with a love that is as
deformed as his body. She, how
ever. is in love with another MEM
Der of the troupe and is unaware of
the deformed ones love. There is a
strong motif of hatred, which
CLANCY brings out as only he can do.
Many of the scenes are taken
through a thin screen, which gives
the picture an atmosphere of I'M
reality and makes many of the more
beautiful scenes resemble oil paint
ingS from the brush Of a master.
Joan Crawford plays the circus girl,
and she is very beautiful, even while
she is doing some strenuous acting.
Playing opposite Miss Crawford is
Norman Kerry, the strong man,
whom she loves. He almost looks
the part, except that he is a trifie
too slim and good looking to be a
circus strong man type.
The stage presentations include
Braile and PABLO, with their Slavic
Orchestra, in some original and beau
tiful costume dances; a presentation
Of the prison scene from Faust"
with three operate soloists, of which
the soprano was exceptionally good;
Richard Leibert of Washington, d. c.,
