PRINCE EDWARD
LON CHANEY TO-NIGHT “London After Midnight.” starring Lon Chaney, is the big picture to be shown at the Prince Edward Theatre. Chaney abandons his usual roles to play a modern detective, clever, alert, utiiising present-day science to battle superstitions of the past. And. as a detective, he assumes several uncanny disguises—and even lets the audience into secrets of his makeup, when, as the detective, he applies a disguise before the eyes of the audience. It is a story of a strange crime cloaked behind the ghosts of an old haunted manor house in England. Chaney, a student of hypnotism, uses this uncanny art to make the murderer in the case return to the scene of his crime and re-enact it. Conrad Xagel and Marceline Day are members of the strong supporting cast.
