THE LYRIC
“VENUS OF VENICE” Constance Talmadge’s new comedydrama, “Venus of Venice,” is the current attraction at the Lyric Theatre this week. of a charming Wr little madcap who, fr •fp dominated by a crook, pursues a iHte. gjRS-fo; course of thievery among the canal jjj' reckless abandon, her escapades plunging her into the conmpanionship of an AmeriAntonio Moreno can artist, with unforeseen consequences of a most exciting nature. While "Venus of Venice” attains brilliant dramatic heights, the picture is for the most part in the lighter vein in which Miss Talmadge excels. Its setting, in modern Venice, is one that breathes romance and adventure. The “Water Rat's” doubtful activities in the canals of the Italian city also give Constance an opportunity to display aquatic attainments which she is not generally known to possess. Appearing opposite Miss Talmadge, in the role of the romantic American artist, is Antonio Moreno. And Marshall Neilan’s direction of the picture further establishes him as a master in the screening of stories of the “Constancesque” type.
