GRAND AND LYRIC
“THE PATRIOT” Suspense, like that of a great detective story, marks the unfolding of Emil Jannings’s latest starring, picture, “The Patriot,” which is now at the Lyric and Grand Theatres. Plotting against an emperor who boasted that every man in his kingdom was under the direct surveillance of the police is the dangerous and exciting work which falls to the lot of Lewis Stone, who, with Florence Vidor, plays opposite Jannings in this picture. From the opening shot, plot, counterplot, intrigue, and ritear-discovery keep the audience in sympathetic terLaid in the court of the Tsar Paul the First of Russia, “The Patriot” brings a gorgeousness of production as a background for an enthralling story, which has rarely been viewed on a local screen. “Prep, and Pep,” the second picture, is a bright comedy of life at a boys’ military school.
