BRITANNIA, “MAN WHO LAUGHS”
The powerful Victor Hugo story of a hideously mutilated child, entitled ‘•The Man Who Laughs,” is now at the Britannia Theatre. Conrad Veidt in “The Man Who Laughs,” plays the role of a disfigured clbwn, a man who wore from childhood an eternal grin. Hideous as he is, he is loved by another victim of fate, the beauteous blind Lea, wonderfully portrayed by the lovely Mary Philbin. These puppets of 18th century civilisation enact their way through tragic beginnings to final happiness in one of the most heart-gripping motion pictures ever screened. “Ladies Must Dress,” the second feature, is an amusing comedy of domestic worries, starring Virginia Valli.
