FRANK KEENAN IN “BROTHERS DIVIDED,” AND “THE CASE OF LADY CAMBER.”
Always a firm favorite with the-atre-goers, Frank Keenan in “Brothers Divided,” yesterday was unanimously acclaimed as having repeated his sterling dramatic work in filmdom. Without effusive praise, one can safely say that “Brothers Divided” 'is one of the cleanest, most wholesome and enjoyable features that the screen lias given us. That it is so is doubly due to Frank Keenan, for he not only directed the picture, but also plays a dual role of two brothers whose characters are diametrically opposed. .Keenan is thoroughly orabbish as the moneygrubbing brother and delightfully fine as the ex-convict whose experiences have only made him keenly alive to the good that in man lies. The really excellent film of H, Annesley Vachell’s story, “The Case of Lady Camber,” is one of the few adaptations of hooks or plays that is exactly like the original, and a good story coupled with good acting and good production, make a very excellent entertainment. The stars are •Violet Hopson, Stewart Rome, and Gregory Scott, three of England’smost prominent screen favorites. The lighter portion of the entertainment is afforded by “Fly in the Ointment,” a two-reel comedy, and other supports. Seats are reservable at Miller’s Corner.
