DE LUXE TO-NIGHT.

“CHEATING CHEATERS” EXCITES AND AMUSES. There is nothing more entertaining than a well-performed mystifying, farce-comedy, and there is no bettor example of this rare dish than “Cheating Cheaters” at the De Luxe to-night. Like all good pictures of this type the star must become involved in some embarrassing and dillicult situations and by the aid of assistants become more deeply involved in the affair: Well, that’s just what happens to Beethy Compson, the bewitching little blonde, who gets herself into a peck of trouble and out again in “Cheating Cheaters.” Miss Compson plays the stellar role of her colourful career in this screaming crook production opposite Kenneth Harlan, and the pair are surrounded by capable supporting players. For Wednesday, Lon Chaney in “The Road to Mandalay” is the special attraction; those who saw him as the grotesque cripple of the “Hunchback,” as the weird outlaw of “The Blackbird,” as the spectral horror of “The Phantom”; now see him in this mystifying and Nature-defying feat, as a maimed, half-blind, Satanic outcast of the Orient, a sinister brute man with the face and heart of a beast, yet che-; risking a love that passed all understanding.
