LIBERTY THEATRE.
Metro-GoldvCyn is responsible for the new headliner at the Liberty Thoatre, "He Who Gets Slapped," and Lon Chaney is the Bt#r. The title of the picture suggests slap-stick comedy, but the title is misleading, for tho story is a highly dramatic one, gripping tho heartstrings throughout every episode of its development. The scenario is a most unusual one, cynical to a degree, and reminiscent in parts of the great music drams, "Pagliacci." Lon Chancy has never done better -work than in this great picture, and those who appreciate grim tragedy should not fail to see him in this his greatest scyecn effort. A "Paths Gazette" is shown in support.
