As is usually the case in bis out- standing plays, Chaney uses in- tricate. makeup for an intricate character; but this time he goes beyond his usual portrayal. He invades another race for his character, as the silent, sub- tle and sinister mandarin, versed; in the knowledge of ages; almost uncanny in his insight into hu- man character and his enormous power, pursuing his relentless program of ‘revenge against a family who wronged him. The cast is a notable one. Louise Dresser plays the English mother, battling the mysterious Oriental for the life of her son; Reneo Adoree, the Chinese daugh- ter, whose wrong precipitates the dramatic situation. Ralph Forbes, ithe English son, Claude King as Muir, the old Scottish governor, Anna May Wong, Gertrude Olm- sted, Holmes Herbert, Mrs. Wong ‘Wing, and other well known play- ers appear in a great cast in the production. Zelma O'Neal, comedienne, who lately joined the Jack White forces, will be seen in the leading feminine role in support of Al St. John in the new Educational- Mermaid comedy “Who Hit Me?” an added attraction to the bill to- night. RINTIN-TIN 18 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT | “A Hero of the Big Snows,” the to Mary Mallory, a pretty and plucky ' Caafdfan'{‘gil, and Bd finds the girl a good influence in his unhappy existence. When Mary’s baby sister falls ill and she starts out in a severe snowstorm for the doctor, Rinty aids her, and, in a thrilling fight with a wolf pack, brings the giri safely to her destination. Rinty had been suspected of | injuring the child, but in reality had rescued her from the attack of a wolf. His loyalty and brav- ery vindicates him of the suspi- cion, he saves the child, and brings together the two young lovers, after a series of thrilling incidents and encounters with a starving pack of wolves. This is said to be the most ex- citing as well as most beautiful of RinTin-Tin's pictutes, and those who saw him in “Below the Line,” “The Clash of the Wolves” and “The Night Cry,” his recent Warner productions, will realize that he has a high standard of entertainment to surpass. —— - —— N s o | ELINOR GLYN’'S STORY | IS AT PALACE SUNDAY Elinor Glyn has written defi- I nition of love. The famous au- thor, who supervised the produe- tion of “Love’s Blindness,” the ‘Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture ta- ken from her own novel, at the Palace Sunday, is generally con- sidered an authority on this mys- terious emotion, so her definition, as follows, should be interesting: “Love is the vital spark which makes life, It is the expression of the soul. The lowest creatures the worst creatures, are raised when they love, because, for the time it holds them under its sway they cease to be utterly selfish. It is an essence peyond our sight, hearing, or touch, which uplilts {us. It is composed of three parts, {the spiritual, the mental, the physical, and is newer complete unless each of the trinity is ot equal strength. The spiritual and mental alone would be friendship; the physical and mental would be merely of earth, and the spivitual and the physical would be with- out balance. There must be the trinity in perfect love.” PREPARES FOR N. Rome. Here is shown the giant Bellanca plane in the first trial flight | at Hadley Field, N.-J.
