“SYNTHETIC SIN” AT BRITANNIA
‘Synthetic Sin,” regarded as the most entertaining and exciting comedy-drama in which Colleen Moore has ever appeared, is now at the Britannia Theatre. Miss Moore has surpassed anything she has ever done before as a cornedienne with her portrayal in “Synthetic Sin.” She will be seen as an innocent little Southern girl who goes in search of “experience” in the underworld to obtain a dramatic background that will enable her to become a great actress. Her hilarious and melodramatic adventures are interwoven with an unusual romance that provides an exceptionally amusing plot. Antonio Moreno plays opposite Miss Moore, others in the cast being Montagu Love and Gertrude Astor. “Waterhole,” the second feature, is an exciting Zane Gray story starring Jack Holt.
Josef von Sternberg, who directed the latest Esther Ralston starring production, “The Case of Lena Smith,” has produced a long list of successful screen plays for Paramount. The most notable of his recent pictures were “The Last Command” and “The Locks of New York.” James Hall plays a featured role opposite Miss Ralston in the new production.
