NATIONAL AND LYRIC
“THE WHITE BLACK SHEEP” A film which is attracting large audiences is “Till the Santis ui Li .e Desert Grow Cold,” picturised as “The White-Black Sheep,” at the National and Lyric Theatres. This is a First National picture and no cinema-lover should miss seeing Patsy Ruth Miller perform the part of Zelie, the deesrt dancing girl. Perfection is the one word descriptive of her performance. We hold our breath when witnessing Zelie rescue her lover (Richard Barthelmess) from the dungeon of the Arabs, and as they escape together upon horseback across the desert pursued by Arabs, excitement runs high. However, after much torture and vicissitude, Barthelmess, playing the part of Robert Kincavin, the son of an English nobleman, wins through at last, finding happiness in the love of Zelie. * “The Chorus Lady.” a P.D.C. picture, released by First National, is also being featured at these two theatres, and the acting of red-headed Patricia (Margaret Livingstone) is sure to please.
The orchestral numbers rendered by the Lyric Orchestra last evening gave much pleasure, especially the solorendering of “Where My Caravan has Rested.”
