In "The Birth of a Nation" Miss Gish played her way straight into the hearts of her optience all over the country, establishing for herself a place of favor that has been maintained throughout seasons of production by the artistry of her work. EJ "Annie Laurie" As the first 1927-1928 Lillian Gish production, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is presenting "Annie Laurie," a gay color- ful play that ranges all moods and emotions. It is, it is said, a rather dif- ferent type for Miss Gish. It is pitched in a key of merriment, and while it ranges to a strong, rugged climax, it is nevertheless, a story that touches the sunny, rather than the seamy, side of life. tof of oe LoN CHANEY During the past few seasons, prob- ably no one of the big stars has given us as much to remember and talk about as has Lon Chaney. In "He Wha Gets Slapped," "The Unholy Three," "The Blackbird," "The Road to Man- dalay," "Tell It to the Marines" and "Mr. Wu," the man of a thousand faces has treated us to some of the greatest pictures ever presented in the "land of dreams." In each of every one of them he appeared in an entirely dif- ferent characterization; and each and every one of them has been a drama of the first rank. LJ "The Hypnotist" Lon has three big pictures which will be released for the coming season. The first of these "The Hypnotist," is another fragment from the side show of life. This role has within its ranges all of the curious and the novel, the fiendishness and the sacrificial redemp- tion that has gone with his greatest efforts. Just as in all Chaney stories, the surprise elements make the plot; remember "The Unholy Three" with Lon's performance as a ventriloquist and you will begin to have a concep- tion of just what "The Hypnotist" will be. ) "Hate" Based on the "Four Strangers" by Frank Packard, the author of "The Miracle Man," which gave Lon Chaney his first big part, "Hate" will be one of the biggest sensations that filmdom has presented in a long time. The man of "many faces" has a tremendous part in this picture. As the feared brutal leader of a band of Apaches he roams and dominates the underworld of Paris--and St. Lucifer take the hin- der-most when the old boy pulls a knife! The fortunes of war throw Chaney and his enemies into intimate association--take a good healthy grip on your imagination and imagine the war within a war that leads to drama of a most intense order. iLL LZ It wouldn't be exactly fair to give you too much to think about in connec- Norshore. The screen offering will be Lon Chaney in "Mr. Wu," in which the man of a thousand faces portrays his latest and greatest characterization. The story opens with the revelation of a secret love affair between Nang Ping (Renee Adoree) and Basil Greg- ory (Ralph Forbes). News of their secret meetings is carried to Wu (Lon Chaney). Basil is taken prisoner and is threatened with death. Mr. Wu's plan to avenge his daughter's honor rapidly draws to a close. He offers the English foreigners the alternative of Basil's death or his sister's honor. The mother's decision to this question forms the outstanding dramatic inci- dent in the story.
