EVERYBODY’S
“THE CRYSTAL CUP” A daring drama, unusual in theme and treatment, skilfully directed and superbly acted, “The Crystal Cup,” First National’s picturisation of Gertrude Atherton’s novel, will be seen at Everybody’s Theatre on Thursday. “The Crystal Cup” goes into the intricate and intriguing matter of psycho-analysis and the interesting discoveries of Freud. It reflects the turbulent soul of a sensitive woman, oppressed by an unhappy experience of early youth, which affects her conduct and outlook on life for years. It affords Dorothy Mackaill featured in the feminine part, her greatest screen role, a role in w’hich the actress acquits herself so creditably as to place her in the first rank of motion picture artists. Jack Mulhall brings his likeable and distinct histrionic ability in the serious role of “Geoffrey,” in which he is featured opposite Miss Mackaill. Rockliffe Fellow r es’s interpretation of the brilliant, successful novelist, is a finelydrawn and carefully studied bit of acting. Jane Winton, Edythe Chapman, Clarissa Se) wynne are excellent in supporting rcies.
