"FOUR DEVILS."
SOUND SYNCHRONISED. JANET GAYNOR IN SUPERB PICTURE. The man who made "Faust" and "Sunrise" also made "Four Devils," to be offered at the Liberty Theatre. A3 a sound synchronised picture it will be presonted at Liberty Theatre next week. The four leading roles, bright, youthful, dashing parts, are played by Janet Gaynor, Nancy Drexel, Barry Norton, and Charles Morton, And Murnau, the great little man who sets the most austere critic staring, has worked with these four young people to evolve one of the most wholly attractive motion pictures produced in America in a twelve month. The story qoncerns four orphaned children of famous circus performers and their Mentor of a clown, played by J. Farrell McDonald, and Mary Duncan has the part of a Continental seductress, who toys with one of the four derils. The story of "Four Devils" is a simple story. Mary Duncan, stealing Janet Gayuor's sweetheart, the young Charles Morton, is a very vivid creature, and Miss Gaynor's delicate acting of the anguished little circus player is » further fine bit in this picture of fascinating circus sights and sounds. The synchronisation is perfectly timed, and finely recorded. Box plans will op»n at TV» Bristol Piano Company to-morrow tuorr.'nsr
