NEW OPERA HOUSE
“The Amateur Gentleman”
The vast number of the public who took joy in reading Jeffery Farnbl’s story, “The Amateur Gentleman,” over a decade ago, may revive that pleasure by seeing it acted on the screen at the New Opera House. This picture features Douglas Fairbanks, jun., and Elissa Landi, as Barnabas Barty and Lady Cleone, but they are but two of a long and capable cast, which does justice to this fine sporting story of Georgian days. Many will remember how the Snake,. Chichester, even While seeking the band of Lady Cleone, robs her father and then sees honest old John Barty, innkeeper and ex-pnze-fighter, accused of the theft, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged. It is young Barney’s mission to sheet home the crime to the guilty party, and to do so he takes on the aspect of a gentleman, and, posing as John Beverley, Esquire, gains an entrance to society. The supporting programme includes ope of the vivid new screen-journalism series, “March of Time.”
