DE LUXE THEATRE.
» Douglas M'Lean's new screen comedy, " "Introduce Me," which commences at the -'■ De Luxe Theatre this evening, cannot be 2 compared with any other M'Lean picture. ;; It is so much superior to anything this ■ youthful star has ever given to the screen that other M'Lean successes cannot even be-mentibned in the same review. M'Lean / plays the role of a young tourist in Amer- ;;, ica who falls in love with a beautiful girl. ■-' His friend refuses to introduce the youthIJiul hero, who'is therefore forced to pos* ;'^as a great alpinist that he may follow bis '** sweetheart to the mountans. The picture merrily along through romance, "fun, and thrills to the, climax, when ",!■ M'Lean is compelled to climb the mounor lose the girl. Ho scales sheer preXcipices, braves an avalanche, is chased i': across bottomless chasms by a bear, and -!J finally arrives at the summit far ahead of ".his competitors. But the descent of the %'peak tops all. Accidentally rolling liim--■-eelf into a tremendous snowball, M'Lean ',' crashes downwards —splintering trees, •■".tumbling over cliffs, and —but to tell the -•>rest would spoil the picture. Anne Cornplays opposite the star, and is by ■■■far his most attractive leading lady. The j I picture is very creditably directed by "George J. Crone and supervised by Al Jack Mackenzie and Paul Perry lihave made a photographic gem of this pic"■ture, which, naturally lent itself to # boau"i'tiful scenic effects. Also screened^ is an■Cother. of those unique series of pictures, "Stereoscopiks No. 4," while a specially attractive feature is the charming miisi--!esl scoro rendered by the De Luxe Or--chestra under the baton of Mr. L. D. "
