“GRIP OF THE YUKON” TO-MORROW This evening will see the final presentation at Everybody’s Theatre of ! “Vanity,” starring Leatrice Joy, and of “Adventure Mad,” starring Lillian Hall Davis and Nils Asther. An entirely new programme will be presented to-morrow, headed by a powerful drama entitled “The Grip of the Yukon.” The leading players include Neil Hamilton and Francis X. Bushman, together with June Marlow , and Otis Harlan. “Grip of the Yukon” is a gripping j drama of the North, practically the j entire action of the picture being laid in and around the frozen wastes of Alaska. Harlan’s work in the great Alaskan epic is that of a wizened old doctor who is always looking for a patient, whether he be injured in a free-for-all fight or a regular oldtime gun duel. Harold Lloyd has launched the production of his latest feature comedy after several months of intensive preparation. A considerable portion of the new story will be set in San Francisco’s Chinatown. The Lloyd Company will start the production under the tentative title of “The Butterfly Chaser.” The Paramount director, Victor Schertzinger, has written two songs specially for the production. “Manhattan Cocktails,” which is being produced on the Paramount sound stages. Schertzinger will be remembered as the composer of “Marcheta.” one of the biggest song successes of recent years.
