Seldom, ( if every has such a all star cast been assembled in one motion picture, as Fox gathered together for his 1926 production of “East Lynne,” which screens at the Town Hall to-morrow (Friday) evening. Heading the remarkable cast, are Alma Rubens, as Lady Isabelle, and Edmund Lowe, as Sir Archibald Carlyle. Lou Teilegen, is Sir Francis Levison, Frank Keenan is chief justice Hare and Marjorie Daw as : Barbara Hare. The story as is well-known is based on the devotion and self-sacrifice of a. woman for her .ideal. One of the startling moments of “East Lynne,”, is the spectacular train wreck near the climax of the picture.

The most Realistic fist fight ever screened, was staged by Norman Kerry and Lionel Barrymore, two magnificient physical specimens, for the screen version of Rex Beach’s famous novel “The BarYier,” which heads Saturday’s Town Haff programme. This picture easily takes its place as one of the most exciting and stirring pieces of realism of the. screen world. Prices as usual.
