RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM
“THE NOOSE” ! Richard Barthelmess’s latest and | perhaps most dramatic picture, “Tlie j Noose,” will be shown this evening at j the Rialto and Regent (Epsom) Theatres. A young boy just at college age stands with a smoking gun in his hands. His victim is a huddled shapeless heap on the other side of the room. This is the dramatic situation which opens “The Noose," the picturisation of a sensational stage play. From this tense, startling opening, the story moves swiftly through a series of dramatic incidents to the finish. "The Noose” is one of the most powerful stories ever written. It deals with life in the raw, with the underworld and its gunmen and gangmen, with justice and with politics, with sympathy and compassion. A merry comedy of the American Army of Occupation in Germany entitled “Rash Privates,” and starring Lya de Putti and Malcolm McGregor, will also be shown. Syd. Chaplin has scored another hit. it is claimed, this time as the gay young ; fellow who went to a small town to marry money in “The Fortune Hunter.” Winchell Smith's adroit comedy was a ! great success on the stage, and promises to be an even greater one on the screen. As a pantomimic Chaplin ex- ; cels, and his work in "The Fortune Hunter” is destined, according to re- j port, to enhance his regard with the public.
