SYDENHAM PICTURES.
FLESH AND BLOOD. A picture as distinctive ns it is unusual —one rich with human emotions, and pulsating with vital drama. is “Flesh and Blood.” an Irving Cummings production, featuring Lon Chaney. the man “of a thousand faces. ’ supported by an all-star cast, that includes Edith Robert*? as his leading woman. IT)© picture will be the attraction at th© King's Theatre. .Sydenham to-day. It was directed by Air Cummings from a story by Louis Duyrea Lighton, and tells of an escaped convict who found his way in liberty—who found ample compensation for his pent-up sorrow by realising that his daughter had found happiness. Ohaney plays the convict and gives a performance that will live long in the memory. The exceptional study of this prisoner, forced to become a. fake cripple to avoid detection, is one that stamps Ohaney as the most gifted character actor on the* screen. How he triumphs | though he returns to serve his term is ! told in five reels of smashing, crashing, pulsating drama—the kind of drama that carries a heart and soul.
