JOHN GILBERT IS | AT STRAND THEATER Popular St Featare i “Msts ol the Devil” A Don Juan of tomorrow among the dazeling ladies of the Vienna of loday! 8uch is John Gilbert in his new starring picture, “The Masks of the Devil,” which is at the Strand the- ter beginning Sunday for four days. This ultra-modern Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer picture will undoubtedly %o down in screen history as Gil- bert's most daringly romantic screen story. It is a tale of a man without 4 goul; a super lover who stole hearts and stooped to knavery with- out & thought for ideals or religion. Naturall his career comes to tragedy. As the young Viennese nobleman, he wins the love of tlie Countess Zellner the wife of one of Vienna's wocial leaders, After winning her love he casts her aside in favor of the innocent young flancee of his best friend, Manfred. It is only when the Countess Zell- ner attempts suicide and blurts out (hat Gilbert is responsible for her downfall that tragedy arrives. Her JOWN GILOEAT &'THE MASKS OF THE DEv.® husband attempts go kill the young aristocrat and is himself killed in the struggle. With his dying breath he calls Gilbert the devil himself. The shock of the tragedy and his subsequent failure to win the love of the fresh young Virginian awek- cns Gilbert to the realization of his terrible sin. In an attempt to make atonement he visits the crazed wid- | ow and she sends a bullet into his | body. = Believing himselt to be dying, Gil- bert visits Virginia and Mantred and bids them farewell. A8 he leaves he collapses and Virginia realizes that ~he loves him. The subsequent cli- max makes “The Masks of the Devil” perhaps the most unique story ever brought 1o the screen.
