CAPITOL
NEW PROGRAMME
“The Silent Lover,” First National newest starring vehicle for Milton Sills, will open at the Capitol Theatre to-night.
.The story, adapted by Carey Wilson from the European success by Lajos Biro, entitled “The Legionnaire,” is described as a thrilling one, dealing with the skirmishes between the Foreign Legion units stationed on the edge of the Sahara and the marauding Riff tribesmen, who constantly harry European travellers and residents in those sections. Sills is cast as a dissolute young diplomat, who loses his honour ifl Paris, only to regain it—and win the girl he loves—on the burning sands of Southern Morocco. % “Fools in the Dark” will also be screened.
I watched (says an English writer) some brilliant cabaret scenes made by George Jacoby (the director of “Quo Vadis?”) at the St. Margaret’s Studios the other day. For the occasion a bevy of “White Bird” dancers from His Majesty’s Theatre lent zest and piquancy to the proceedings, which lasted over a whole week-end! The film is “The Fake,” the first of a new British firm’s pictures, and stars Henry Edwards.
