GRAND
“RESURRECTION” “Resurrection,” starring Rod LaRocque and Dolores Del Rio, is now being shown at the Grand Theatre. Rod La Rocque, in the role of Prince Dmitri Nekhludof, very nearly plays three characters in one, giving the changes that take place in the soul of the prince and their reflection in his physical appearance. As the dashing, impulsive young prince who declares his love for the peasant girl, Katusha Maslova, he is as boyishly and innocently care-free as an undergraduate. Sketching the film, the transition to the sophisticated, almost savage courtier of a few months later, La Rocque is another man, a devil-may-care type to whom nothing is sacred, for whom the whole perspective of life is changed. Finally, as the lover, a fine, upstanding and worthy prince whose soul has been purged in the fires of understanding love, La Rocque reaches the peak. On the same programme is being shown “The Blood Ship” an epic of the sea starring Hobart Bosworth.
