PLAZA

LAST DAYS OF “THE TERROR” I “The Terror,” acknowledged to be the most thrilling and at the same time the most amusing of all crook plays, is noAV drawing to the close of its season at the Plaza Theatre. The locale is a dilapidated English manor house, supposed to hide both the loot of a recent bank robbery and the looter. Crooks of various sorts, frightened and spiritualistic ladies, policemen, and others, come to the old | house, ay here all are kept in chatteri ing fear by a hidden and mysterious j monster who is forever committing j some deed or other to put the already i ragged nerves of the household in a : state of collapse. “The Terror” was adapted from the phenomenally sucj cessful London play by Edgar Wallace. J “The Terror” is played by an allj star cast, including May McAvoy, i Louise Fazenda, Edward Everett Hor- ! ton. Alec B. Francis, and Holmes Herj bert. There are also excellent supporting talkies. “Love Never Dies,” the big aerial pro- , duction corning to the Plaza on Fri- ; day, is a colourful love story of a little French girl who “mothers” a squadron of young Britisli aviators | stationed on her grandfather’s farm ; during the World War. The picture . is acclaimed to be one of the greatest I 5 screen achievements of all time, and marks a new high-light for Miss Moore’s illustrious screen achie\*e--1 ments. “Love Never Dies” was directed by George Fitzmaurice and produced by First National Pictures. The chief supporting roles is played by Gary Cooper, while others in the cast include Burr Mclntosh, George Cooper, Cleve Moore, Eugenie Besserer, Emile I Chautard, Jack Stone, Edward Dillon, : and Stuart Knox. “Bulldog Drummond.” presented recently at the New York Rivoli Theatre, was responsible for the breaking of ' the record established there with Chap- ( Tin's “Gold Rush.” The record-break- , ing pictur marks Ronald Colman’s inii tial talking role.
