THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, Interesti Pen Impressions of the Coming At- tractions on . . . ew Martin | "The Man Wht Laughs has at ast . "The Man Laughs," has at last been made into a motion picture. + With infinite effort and at great ex- "pense, the Universal Pictures Cor- poration has translated the stirring story of early English court intrigue _ into a super-production that mirrors | Hugo's unusual and colorful charac- ters and events in pping scenes. Manager Marks of the New Martin Theatre has just completed arrange- ments for presenting this Universal- } Hugo masterpiece to local moving * picture fans and Victor Hugo en= * thusiasts. It will open at the New Martin Theatre on Monday. The filming of "The Man Who Laughs" was sponsored by Carl Laemmle, the same motion picture impresario who brought Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" to the screen. The same producer was in- strumental in presenting the French- made "Les Miserables" to American screen lovers. Those two photo- dramas have become screen classics. The new Hugo rendition is expected to be even more of a success, not only with Victor Hugo readers, but with all lovers of gripping drama and colorful romance. oh Conrad Veidt and Mary Philbin lay the leading roles in "The Man ho Laughs." Veidt is one of the most famous screen stars of Europe. He was brought to America primar- ily to play the role of Gwynplaine, the Man Who Laughs, in this pic- ture. Miss Philbin is the beautiful girl of such pictures as "Merry Go Round," "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Drums of Love" In "The Man Who Laughs," she is Dea, Hugo's blind and lovely heroine. A DOUBLE ALLOWANCE Doctor--Do you adhere to "my rules in regard to drinking? Patient--Yes. Six glasses a day. "But I limited you to three!" "I know. But another doctor also allows me three."

SURE SIGN "How's Brown doing in the hos- pital 2" : "Fairly. well, but I don't think he will be out as soon as expected. "How did you find out--did you see the doctor?"

Al Cohn wrote-the scenario. The play is based on Samson Raphaelson's success, Alan Crosland directed, Al Jolson and "The Jazz Singer--"two wonders not to be missed. Now and then along comes a moving picture that is out of the or- dinary and distinctly worth while. Such a picture is Al Jolson's "The Jazz Singer," which will come Monday at the Regent Theatre. This is the great musical come- dy star's first appearance in the movies! And it is his gratest hit. The effect of his presence is vol- canic, emotional in the extreme, moving audiesces to frantic ap- plause and tears and laughter. "The Jazz Singer" s the story of Jolson's own life, for he, too, like the Jack Robin of the play, ran away from an orthodox home when a boy to follow the lure of the stage, and like Jack, won fame and fortune on Broadway, When on the heights the boy's soul is torn between love for the stage and for the woman of the stage, who has made possible his success and love for the humble parents whose hearts still long for his return. The cast is worthy of the star which is saying a grat deal. Dainty May McAvoy plays brilliant for 3 Days Only! The King of Entertainers! In A Performance You'll Never Forget! bj 4 Big i UPPER LEFT--Conrad Veidt and Mary Philbin who are ! starring in the famous production coming to the New Martin Theatre on Monday, "The Man Who Laughs."
