THE STRAND
“THE ROAD TO MANDALAY” A dramatic story in an Oriental setting is told in “The Road to Mandalay," Lon Chaney’s latest picture, at the Strand Theatre. A beautiful, innocent girl keeps a bazaar in Mandalay and is watched over by a kindly priest. There comes a repulsive-looking half blind evildoer from Singapore and also a renegade naval officer. Thoroughly ashamed of himself the officer fights his way back to respectability and is about to marry the girl. It develops that his companion is the girl’s father and the priest is his brother. He prevents the wedding and kidnaps the officer. The girl goes to Singapore and after being lured to a Chinese den is saved by her father. A fight occurs between him and the officer and the girl stabs him to save her lover. The young couple are left to their happiness, the girl not knowing that she has killed her father. A Strand Magazine, an Aesop fable feature and a comedy, “Nothing Matters,” are shown. A vaudeville programme of mirth and melody is presented by the Harris family. The overture will be “Morning, Noon and Night” (Suppe).
