ROYAL, KINGSLAND
“THE CAT AND THE CANARY” More thrills than ‘The Bat!” More mystifying than “The Mystery Club!” That is the universal prediction of critics who have seen “The Cat and the Canary,” the Universal super mystery drama, with an all-star cast, which will be shown at the Theatre Royal, Kingsland, to-ngiht. Wejrd shadows and sounds, a maniac at large on a country estate, a murder and a melange of conflicting suspicions, are a few of the elements that make “The Cat and the Canary,” one of the most talked about pictures of the year. It was directed by Paul Leni, the most famous of European directors who have gone to America. A featured cast of players surrounds Laura La Plante in the picture, including among many others Arthur Edmund Carew, Creighton Hale, Forrest Stanley, Gertrude Astor, Flora Finch, Tuly Marshall, George Seigmann and Martha Mattox. Alfred Cohn made the screen adaptation from the stage play of the same name by John Willard.
