I— '7 WHAT IS PLAYING' IN THE THEATRES Reade's Strand—Virginia Valll In “K—the Unknown.” Ditnias—Buster Keaton In “The Navigator.” Crescent—Photoplays and vaude ville. At Rcade’s Strand A very entertaining story, told In convincing and artistic manner, was unfolded on the screen last night In Reade’s Strand Theatre, when “K— The Unknown,” was given Its Initial performance. The pictureplay was adapted from the famous novel by Mary Roberts Rhinehart, “K”, which not only was read by many thousands of persons but which, according to all evidence, is Justly entitled to that well-known characterization, "a human docu ment.” And if this characterization is true of the story. It is true of the screen version. It can be truly said for the picture that It follows the story closely, and accordingly, it ap pears to the writer of this review that the characterization in both cases Is a correct one. Virginia Valli, cast in the part of Sidney Page, beautiful young wo man, whose life has been passed in a small town where she has be come a social favorite of the young er residents. The gradations she portrays, Just one merging from girl hood, through realization of her maturity to one who, apparently, has tasted of the extreme bitterness of disillusionment, are convincingly done. The part of ”K,” silen and mys- 1 terious stranger whose coming to the little town presages so much of vital import to the others in the story, is finely handled by Percy j Marmont. Margarita Fischer as ' Carlotta Harrison, misguided, but devotedly In love with Dr. Max Wil son, portrayM by John Roche, and Maurice Ryan, Francis Feeney, are convincing. At Uie Bitinas “By far the best comedy he has ever made,” is the verdict for Bus ter Keaton in his latest Metro-Gold wyn picture. “The Navigator,” w-hich opened last night at the DItmas Theatre. For unalloved Joy this six-reel comedy surpasses fcivthing in a long long time. Imagino Buster as a help less dumbbell, being set adrift in a screwiess ocean liner, and the trou ble he gets into, and you have an idea of how funny “The Navigator” is. Kathryn McGuire appears as the heroine . and she has never looked nor acted better. The story was written by Jean Havez. Clyde Bruclt man and Joseph Mitchel. while the direction was by Donald Crisp and Buster Keaton. The picture was presented by Joseph M. Schenck. WOODBRIDGE THEATRE Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 30 and 31 The White Sister By F. Marion Crawford Lillian Gish scores her most distinguished triumph in this gripping story by F. Marion Crawford. Filmed in Italy, amid the exact lo cale so graphically described by the author, with awe in spiring scenes that include the eruption of Vesuvius and an entire city wiped out by a devastating flood. A motion picture sensation that will linger long in the memory of all who are for tunate enough to see it.
