Lon Chaney, who became a star in “The Miracle Man” and proved it again in “The Penalty” and “The Trap," and Virginia Vall, whom Unt- rsal made a star for her work in “The Storn#’ combine at the Wyo- ming theater to give ‘The Shock’ more than the thrill of the San Fran- cisco earthquake which is shown for the climax. As tho crippled hero of Wiillam Dudley Pelley’s story, Chaney achieves what will go down in screen history as the greatest example of character acting ever seen. Contrasting strangely to Chaney's misshapen characterization, Virginia Valli appears as a country lass with an elusive, spiritual sweetness to em- phasize her beauty.” ‘The story tel's of people who lived and loved and fought and died on ‘the Barbary Coast, the Via Dolorosa of "Frisco before the earth shuddered at the unclean trample of the Legion of the Damned and purged herself by fire on the morning of April 18, 1906. ‘The big moment of the drama comes ‘when the earthquake is shown as a ‘Miracle by which the girl is saved from a position of horror into which AMERICA TODAY AND MONDAY DOUGLAS Supported by MacLEAN MARGUERITE DE LA MOTTE —And— RAYMOND HATTON _ “AMAN OF ACTION THOS.

Lambert Hillyer directed “The “Shocx” at Universal City, building a replica of the Dupont Street section of San Francisco for the startlingly realistic earthquake scenes. Christine Mayo, William Welsh ana Jack Mower have the principal roles in support of the co-stars. “The Shock” is a taste at the Hem- lock Cup of Life and particularly ap- pealing to those who are weary of far-fetched dramatic themes.

Ince's Intest mystery-comedy, “A Man of Action.” Douglas MacLean, Marguer- ite de la Motte and Raymond Hatton play the principal roles.

Adorned with beautiful and fra grant flowers, Miss Compson was greeted by Mrs. Julia Crawford Ivers. author and director of the story, who preceded Miss Compson and the ofher players to Honolulu; members of the production staff, and a group of Hawaiian musicians. This party motorboated out to quarantine to| meet the star and the members of the cast. At the dock a huge crowd of en thusiastic “fans” were gathered to catch a glimpse of Miss Compson in person. As the star stepped ashore native musicians played the Hawal- ian national air,while tae crowd showered the arriving party with flowers. “The beautiful mountains, the many colors of the ocean, the Hawal- jan music ,are all that I hoped would vo met with at Honolulu,” Miss Compson said to a reporter of one of the island newspapers. ‘I purposely aven't read up on Hawall but have waited until I got here to begin ob- sorbing impressions of the island for fear that what I read would not coincide with the play we are going to produce.” Others in the Compson party in- cluded Edmund Lowe, who plays the cading male role in “The White Flower”; Leon Barry, Sylvia Ashton. line Pretty, Arthur Hoyt, Edward Martindel and Lily Philips, a part- Hawaiian girl, who plays a similar role in the story. Mrs. Julia Crawford Ivers had visited Honolulu earlier in the year, and it was during her stay there that she wrote the story of “The White Flower.” It ts a mystic tale of mod ern Hawaii, and the action was filmed against actual Hawatian back- grounds.
