' Screen News and Reveiws by "Old Bit" "ALIAS THE LONE WOLF*™ Bert Lytell is right at home in this picture, which portrays anoth- er of the incidents in the eventful lite of the "Lome Wolf", adapted from a segles of stories which ap- eared not so long ago in one of the popular magazines. hy It you like mystery dramas, you're going to enthuse over "Alias the Lone Wolf." It has all the allure and intrigue that are associated with stealthy figures moving in the dark: menac- ing shadows,- and plotting and counter-plotting. The thrills are many. The major part of the action takes place on an ocean liner. The heroine, Eve de Montalais (Lois Wilson), is smuggling a valuable collection of jewels into the United States. It is her intention to sell them for all she can get. The sum realized is to go toward restitution for a large sum of money that her brother has embezzled. But alas for the best laid plans, ete. The knowledge that Miss De Montalais has in her possession a king's ransom 'in jewels is shared by a gang of desperate and unscru- pulous thieves, who have tasen passage on the same boat in order to filch them from her. Also un board is Michael Ianyard, "The Lone Wolf," (Bert Lytell), who fs known as one of the most daring adventurers on the continent, It would be unfair to reveal all the details of the plot, or the man- ner in which the tables are turned on the gang and Miss De Mona. lais' jeyels made safe for smug- gling, restored to her. Oh, yes, the gang gets the jewels, but enly for a while! A swift-moving romance starts soon after the story opens, and this is brought to a successful close with the final fade-out, Altogether, 'Alias the Lone Wolf" ean be set down as a worth. while screen play. Bert Lytell, as usual, is excellent in what is hy this time a familiar and likeable characterization. Lois Wilson, 2s the very-much-beset heroine, is good to look upon and plays her part with naturalness and restraint, Others in the cast that give more than commendable performances are James Mason, Paulette Duval, William V, Mong, Ned Sparks, Ann Brody and Al- phonz Ethier. The photography is excellent throughout, The play was directed hy Edward H. Griffith, In addition to the feature, Man- ager Ernie Marks has provided two comedies, the first entitled ""Keep- ing in Trim", and is unusually hil- azious. The CoMeglans series, whieh is fast becoming one of the most popuiar semi-serials we have had, features George Lewis and his fair co.eds in some new mirth-pro- vokinz frolics, which are as good as anything they have ever done, | In spite of the terrible weather last night the New Martin was fill- ed to capacity. To say the weather was "inclement" is putting it very politely, and it looks as though nothing short of an earthquake would keep Oshawa fans away from their entertainment. "THE DUCHESS OF BUFFALO" AND THE SUPER-PANATROPE Little Doreen Sullivan, a daint; morsel that belongs right here ip our own home town delighted the audience at the Regent last night with her Charlestoning and inter pretative dancing music provided by the Luke Furnituré Company, The Papatrope is a marvelous eom- bination of radio and phonograph. using amplification tubes as a means of increasing the volume of sound to any desired power. The volume is tremendous, and the re. production absolutely true to life. One of the records, a selection from "Pagliacei" was exquisite, though perhaps a trifle too loud-.._but that is a detail which is very easily adjusted. Other records, to which little Miss Sullivan danced accompa- piment were "My Blue Heaven", "Down South", "Dancing Tambour- ine" and "'m goin' to damece with de guy wot brung me". Both the Panatrope and petite Doreen were most enthusiastically applauded, and there was no doubt about the manner in which the large aual- ence showed their appreciation for both features. The scenic background to * rue Duchess of Buffalo" is excellently carried out, and no detail is left undone in order to create the true Russian atmosphere. Constance Talmadge, a natural born comedi-4 ene, has a part which is perhaps a little heavier tham most of the pic- tures in which she has starred, but she is quite equal to the demands of the plot. which is an adaptation from the Hungarian play "Sybil" which created quite a furore mn Europe sometime ago. , As Marian Duncan, an American dan-er she makes a tremendous hit with the Russian aristocracy. (tae period of the play being previous to the Revolution, when Grand Dukes and Grand Duchesses were at the height of their power). During her dance of the Seven Veils, her lover Lieuterant WYiadimir Orloff, he comes so excited that he rushes to the back of the stage and com. mands her sot to remove the-last veil! The character of the Lieu: tenant is splendidly played by Tul- lio Carminatti, 2a new-comer from | the Land of Mussolini and the! Black Shirts. Our old familiar friend, Cheste Conklin has some fine opportumitie to imfuse the particular brand of comedy tha: he knows so well how to perform. while the Grand Duk: Alezandrovitch is wery well dor La is 2 peculiar fact that while | Mdiences will always apyland 2 play on tke ligitimate stase. umles | it is very very poor, it takes some | Ch TRIE .

Therefore when we say that last night, wher Marian Duncan and Lieutenan Viadimir Orloff partook of their fin al kiss, there was a prolonge round of applause fromr all, over the house, it means only one thing and that is that the picture arouse' the audience out of their usua' quiet and undemonstrative accept- ance of the entertainment. This happens so seldom that it is worth of more than passing notice. LH ---------- The news reel also was particu- larly interesting, especlally those flashes showng the recent terrible floods in New England.

PRICE OF NEW HAT BULLET IN NOSE New Orleans, Nov, 2§.--Robert Hackney, city detective, lost part of his nose but he won a hat ves- terday. Hackney and Eads Blocker, a salesman, both expert marksmen, bet a hat on their respective prow- ess, A pistol was produced and Hackney shot six cigarettes from between Blocker's lips. Blocker flicked three cigarettes from Hack- ney's mouth but his fourth bullet pierced the detective's nose. Hack- country villages and great manu- ney went to a hospital. = * French Canadians of English Montreal, Nov, 29.--French Cana- dians want the co-operation of Eng- lish Protestants of the Province in solving problems of the future, and for the "common good of all," Pre- mier Tasschreau said last night at a dinner in honor of Joseph Cohen, M.L.A, St. Lawrence, and Col.

McComb, commander of the Pearl Harbor Naval station, was killed late on Saturday when a land 'plane in which he was escorting the steamer Malolo out of Honolulu Harbor on its return trip to San Franeisei, plunged into the sea off Koko Head. A mechanie, I. C. Anthony, who was in MecComb's 'plane' is missing. Lieut. Commander McComb had been accompanied by Lieut. R. P. Kauffman, flying in another plane.
