EVPRYBHDYS PICTURES. “THE LADY LIES.” ,<n TO-NIGHT! TO-NIGHT! In “The Lady Lies,” Paramount has produced a powerfully dramatic but at the same time, absorbingly human romance drama that should add greatly to the prestige of its sponsors, and to that of its featured players, Walton Huston, Claudette Colbert and Charles Ruggles. At the same time, it will doubtless start the upward climb to greater successes of two wonderful child actors, Patricia Deering and Tom Brown. “The Lady Lies” is the story of a pominent and successful lawyer who is a widower, and who, to the disappointment of his two young children and. his relatives falls in love with a woman who is not, in their opinion, of an equal social standing with him. The family powers of intervention are brought to bear, and the plots deals with the weighing in the balance, of. a true love affair, and a family’s selfish ambitions. After numerous, situations, which are shot though with clever dialogue and tense drama, the romance reaches a logical culmination. Huston and Miss Colbert are ideally fitted for a talking picture of this character. Each is a finished actor, a veteran of'the Broadway stage. Ruggleg,. who furnishes the comedy relief, is. another stage favourite Also three shorts. Prices 3s, 2s, plus tax. Children 6d downstairs.
