JOHN GILBERT STARS IN PLAY
 COMING SOON
Phantom of Paris : Pre- views Friday Night and
 Shows Sunday

In playing the character Cheri- Bibi, in The Phantom of Paris" which will be prsvIewed at l o'clock tomorrow night and be shown regularly Sunday at the Capital theatre, John Gilbert undertakes the portrayal of a dual personality, no little test of the ability of the screens most ardent lover. Not caly does the Metros oldwyn May CT star act the part of Frances idolized magician, Cheri-Bibi, but he carries on as the Marquis du Touehais, following the death of the marquis in ordsr to escape the iron hand of the law until he can prove his innocence of the two hideous murders attributed to him.
 Hard To Get Double
 Director John Robertson had considerable difficulty in finding an actor whom Gilbert could dou- ble for, one whose bearing and measurements were such that the star would not be recognized when he stepped into his shoes as the marquis. Hundreds of tests were made before the final selection of Dan Keith, a player with the erect and precise manner of John Gilbert.
 Throughout the major portion of the rnelodrama Gilbert plays Cheri-Bibi, the magician who is the toast of the theatre and who falls desperately in love with a girl of noble family. The love is mutual but the girl is pressed to marry the marquis by her family. The marquis murders her father that he may get the fortune and the finger of suspicion is on Cheri- Bibi.
