"The Test .of Honor" Is Barrymore's New Dramatic Picture. The new Paramount picture, "The Test of .Honor," affords John Barry- more many dramatic scenes and inci dents which migh,t have been written especially for him so well do they suit his individua ltype of actng and char acterization. The picture will be dis played at the Isis theater today. .In one scene it was necessary to show an apparition in the jail where Barrymore is serving time for an al leged murder which he did not com mit. A large, muscular actor was en gaged, for . the part, and John BarryT more himself attended to the make up on his future apparition. "I know the sort of a face that would give me the creeps in the dark, and I.will put that face on him," he said. A few hours later the actor was brought down before the director for inspection, and one and all-agreed that the face which peered out- before a dim light while the camera registered its hideous grimaces, was absolutely the most frightful apparition that could possibly be imagined, and that nothing less than lobster and mince pie could produce a face like that, -"The Test Of Honor," is an admirable picturization of E. Phillips ' Opnen heim's celebrated novel, ''The Male factor,", and for the first time since he became a motion picture star, Mr, Barrymore has a strong dramatic role.
