This wonderful screen production will be shown at the Grand Theatre next Tuesday. The play is reviewed Sin a photoplay publication as follow-: "With the tremendous prestige of it: success as a stage vehicle for the late Richard Mansfield behind it, "Dr. I Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" was bound to re;,Ilpear as a screen attraction sooner' or later. That the leading role was placed in the hands of such a capable artist as John Barrymore is a fact upon which both producers and public are to he congratulated. The film, admirably directed, beautifully photo g.raphed and presented by a capable cast. ranks not only as a Barrymore triumph but a silent drama classic of unusual srength. "Barrvmore's "Hyde" the creature Sf unadulterated degeneracy, fairly reeks with hideous suggestion of un-, told wickedness, he is not merely a sin ner tie luxe, but Sin incarnate, the very qui 1tessence of raging evil. In stri'ki'ng contrast to this offspring of darkness stands out in bold relief the lovable figure of Jekyll, the phila: thropic physican, whose heart over flows with kindness for his fellow men. "The resources of the camera enable the change from Hyde to Jekyll and vhce v.r-raT, oe mane wrmn -such per fection of illusion as could never be attained upon the stage and the photography throughout is so skill I fully handled as to bring out the full strength of the drama's thrilling sit untion in almost horrifying detail: "Mr.Barrymore justifies the terrible repulsiveness of the character by the truth and power of his impersonation. It is worthy to rank along side of the Mephistopeles of Henry Irving and the Bertuccio of Edwin Booth. The screen has never before known such .itreat acting." Property Transfe -s.
