STRAND
“THE SPY” e r “The Spy,’’ an intensely exciting 1 mystery thriller of espionage, murder ! : and international rivalry, is still thrilling the audiences at the Strand 1 > Theatre. L The leading character of “The Spy,” J [ which is the latest production of Fritz \ Lang, is played by Rudolph Kleink Rogge. \ [ Long before there was any thought t of Lon Chaney, Klein-Rogge surprised L the world’s audiences by his chame- n leon-like faculties. Quick as lightning he changes from the dark charac- t ter of the tyrant to the successful benevolent business man, thence to a “faithful” secret service agent, and finally to a ridiculous clown on the . vaudeville change. So clever is his a make-up, so wonderful is the flexibility of his style of acting, that the audi- ? cnco does not. before the very last scene in this great picture, become . aware of the fact that behind the t funny, and at the same time ugly, make-up of the clown, hides the biggest crook and the worst criminal ever . seen in our modern age. Surely the European critics were right when they claimed that an essen- * tial part of the great success of this production must be credited to the art of Mr. Klein-Rogge. Q Bright supporting pictures and new p music by Eve Bentley’s orchestra complete the programme. r ii
