LYRIC
“THE JAM et*P” The evil menace of an antique Chinese vase hung like a malignant cloud over the artist's life, with the tragic fulfilment of its fatal curse. The only witness, a prisoner in the gangster’s den, doomed to die because she had discovered his secret, is only one of the gripping situations in “The Jade Cup,” now at the Lyric Theatre. A young boy, led by love to abandon his sinister associates, framed by the relentless underworld as a murderer, besieged by a cordon of police whose watchword is “Alive or Dead,” and the girl racing in a desperate, heart-break-ing attempt to save him, is another of the many thrilling scenes in this exciting picture. “The Devil Horse” is the title of the second attraction. This is a unique photoplay with the wild horse “Rex” as the central character. The background is a story of the early days in the West. ,
Ruth Chatterton, the stage star who played the lead in “The Green Hat,” on Broadway, is Emil Jannings’s leading woman in his latest Paramount production, “Sins of the Fathers.’ Others in the cast are Baclanova and Zasu Pitts.
