“LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT” A sheet iroh vault —to protect a , spider’s web, was one of the strange ! devices employed in Lon Chaney s j latest picture, "London After Midnight,” the fantastic mystery drama of ghosts and the supernatural, nowbeing shown at the Grand Theatre. Chaney, in several weird disguises, plays a Scotland Yard detective who by modern scientific methods utilises hypnotism to ferret out a strange plot cloaked behind the “ghosts” and apparitions of an old haunted English manor house. Materialisation of a ghost, as performed by mediums, is reproduced before the camera in one amazing sequence in the uncanny new story. Marceline Day plays the heroine, as ward of a strange millionaire about whom the plot centres, and Conrad Nagel the romantic lead as the secretary. Jlenrv B. Walthall plays the eccentric millionaire, and Pul'y Moran, Edna Tichenor and others of note are in the cast.
