PRINCE EDWARD
DOUBLE FEATURE BILL Count Tolstoy’s great story, “Resurrection,” will shown to-night at the Prince Edward Theatre. Dolores Del Rio and Rod La Rocque are in the leading roles. The very human story of “Resurrection,” the film, is identical with that of the novel, no major liberties having been taken, even with the logical ending. There is the despoliation of the Prince’s pure love for the peasant maid, the evil companionship and the mad carousing of the Prince at St. Petersburg, and the Prince on the jury that tries Katusha Maslova, the girl he himself has betrayed. Finally, there is that grand march to Siberia, Prince and peasant alike labouring over the steppes as the chains of exiles clank and hoofs thud on the hard-baked roads. The final scenes are exact renditions of those in Tolstoy’s novel. Florence Vidor in “Honeymoon Hate” will also be shown.
