“A MAN’S PAST” AT EDENDALE

Conrad Veidt, a well-known Continental actor, is een in the leading role in “A Man's Past,” to be shown this evening at the Edendale Theatre. Veidt is an excellent actor and Universal provided him with an excellent story for his initial bow to American-made photoplays. He plays the part of a noted physician who escapes from prison, where he has been sent for putting to death one of his patients who could not be cured, and attempts to forget the past in new surroundings. The tale is skilfully told and although it is dramatically intense to the utmost degree, it is not overdrawn and never tiresome. The supporting cast is headed by Barbara Bedford, who plays the leading feminine role, and includes lan Keith, Arthur Edmund Carew, Corliss Palmer, Charles Puffy and others. “Bringing Up Father,” a comedy based on the famous newspaper cartoons, will also be shown. Polly Moran, Marie Dressier and Farrell McDonald are the stars. FINE PICTURES AT BRITANNIA “Dancing Vienna,” a romantic story starring the beautiful actress. Lya Mara, will be shown this evening at the Britannia Theatre. In the story a young girl who is unhappy in her home is loved by a young man whose ideas on music are confined to midnight blarings on the saxophone. She uses waltz tunes to convey her feelings to the young fellow, who replies in jazz. The girl’s mother has been a musichall singer and the young fellow visits the cabaret where the old-time performer scored her greatest triumphs. It is decided to hold a gala night to help the old proprietor. The father of the young man divining the romance which is growing apace tries to break off the affair. “Something Always Happens” a mystery-comedy of thrills in a haunted house, is the second attraction. Esther Ralston and Neil Hamilton are the stars.
