GRAND AND LYRIC
“LADY OF THE NIGHT” Proving to even the most sceptical that it can be done, D. W. Griffith has turned out a production that combines the swift-moving charm and entertainment value of a musical comedy with the suspense of a tense dram^—furthermore, he has dressed his production
with a background of colour and pageantry which will characterise “Lady of the Night” as one of the outstanding pictorial achievements of the season. “Lady of the Night” is now being shown at both the Grand and
Lyric Theatres, with William Boyd, George Fawcett, Jetta Gouda J and Lupe Velex in the leading roles, and each of these stars is deserving of considerable credit in making the picture as good as it is. There are talking, singing and sound sequences. “Four Sons,” which is also being shown, is a powerful and pathetic tale of family life in Germany engulfed in the conflict of war. Margaret Mann is the mother and James Hall, Charles Morton, Francis X. Bushman Jnr, and George Meeker are the stars. June Collyer and Earle Fox are also seen in this fine film.
