RIALTO, AND REGENT, EPSOM

“THE MYSTERIOUS LADY” Star, story, director and east unite in making an outstanding film in ’ The Mysterious Lady,” now at the Rialto and Regent (Epsom) Theatres. Such an array of talent provided with such story material and such resources could not do otherwise. Greta Garbo was born to such roles as that of the alluring spy: Conrad Nagel, as her lover. betrayed and reconciled again, will surprise even his greatest admirers in this dashing role, while the story will strike home to everyone. The plot is laid in Russia and Austria in pre-war days and a thrilling romance is woven into the gripping drama of nations who fought each other unceasingly under the guise of friendliness—using beautiful women and suave, fearless men as their human weapons. It is a war of wits—a bitter battle of guile and wile. They meet in the gayest cafes of Europe’s gayest capitals, to obtain by subterfuge of every sort from plain deceit to theft and murder the military secrets each guarded so closely. “Honeymoon Flats.” the second feature, is a happy comedy of newlywed troubles, starring Dorothy Gulliver and George Lewis.
