CAPITOL
"THE CAT AND THE CANARY” “The Cat and the Canary” is the chief feature on an excellent programme at the Capitol Theatre. As a stage play “The Cat and the Canary” was conceded to be one of the greatest mystery plays ever written, and, according to critics, the film version is even more mysterious than the Play. The plot hinges about a murder in ar. unoccupied country residence, where six persons have gone at the hour of midnight to hear the reading °f a will. Any one of the main characters might be the murderer and suspicion falls on first one and then the other. The logical though unusual e **ding is one that is impossible for the audience to foretell. The picture was directed by Paul Ceni, noted European director, who was brought to America by Universal. The all-featured cast in addition to Miss P ante embraces such known actors as Arthur Edmund Carew, Creighton Mile, Forrest Stanley, Gertrude Astor, Flora P'inch, George Sigmann, Tully •Marshall and Martha Mattox. ‘Service for Ladies,” starring •Adolphe Menjou, will also be shown this evening.
