'He portrays two parts of great power in "Dark Street," the First National-Vitaphone gangster . rom= ance, which opened at the New Mar- tin Theatre today. Mulhall is called upon to charac- terize and speak the roles of a cop and a crook, who are brothers. This is the first dual role in any talking picture, and Mulhall shades the characters delicately, as the brothers are pretty much alike except that they are on the opposite sides of the law. The difficult mechanical feat of having: Mulhall shown twice in the same scene and talking to himself is' achieved by Vitaphone without a "At Cnew' is w.e "Flu" greeting and "Come here for pure drugs" is the best advice.

Frank Lloyd, the director, and tue First National technicians de- serve much "credit for carrying .out this new talkie venture successtally. It will open another field to dialogu pictures. "Dark Streets" relates the love of the two brothers for one girl, played by Lila Lce. She 'loves both of them, and not until the life of Pat, the cop, is endangéred through t actions of the crook: does she make up. her mund that it' is Pat she cares for most. The brothers try to protect each other. Pat warns Danny, the crook, to give up his law-bréaking career, and Danny tells Pathe ought to give up being a flatfoot at $40 per week to join the gang afd make some real money. Finally, the gang, incensed at Pat's interference with their plans arrange to' "get" him. Then comes an unexepected and dramatic twist to the story. The plot is cleverly handled by Director Lloyd. It. is a new kind of gangster tale, but has all the thrills of former underworld dramas, It gripped the audience and will un- doubtedly prove popular with the public generally. Lila Lee gives a charming charac- terization as the Irish girl, and Aggie Herring, as her mother, appears in v clever comedy role. The siofy is by Richard Connell and was scena ized by B dley King.
