THE TOWER OF LIES.” TO-NIGHT.
One of the outstanding films of the season “The Tower of Lies” a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Production, directed by Victor Soastrom, will doubtlessly be ranked as one of the outstanding six productions of the year. This picture opens to-night at the Princess Theatre and will receive the acclaim that audiences elsewhere have been giving to it. The picture is a screen adaptation of Selma Lager lof’s popular novel, “The Emperor of Portugallia.” The continuity was prepared by Agnes Christine Johnson, who has certainly got everything out of the original story for her screen version. At no time in the careers of Lon Chancy or Norma Shearer has either of those two stars been given such a wonderful screen vehicle. .Miss Shearer lias far outdone any of her former .successes and Chaney has made a very radical departure from his usual characterisations with highly gratifying results. The two are supported hv a remarkable cast, which includes Tan Keith. Claire .McDowell. William Haines, Edward Connelly, David Torrance and Anna Schaefer. Miss Williams’ Orchestra will play the. incidental score for this fine picture. A Topical and Comedy completes the display to-night. On Tuesday a. First National Special will he presented entitled “The 'Midshipman” starring Ramon Novnrro.
