“MAN OF TWO WORLDS”

Elissa Landi and Lederer Co-starred.

Elissa Landi and the new Czech star, Francis Lederer, are featured in the splendid drama “ Man of Two Worlds,” which heads to-day’s new programme at the Crystal Palace Theatre. That Lederer’s stage triumphs on the Continent and in England and America were well deserved is evident by his characterisation in this film. The. comedy and dramatic moments of the story are well handled and in spite of a conventional theme, the picture provides entertainment of a high order. Elissa Landi gives a strong and vivid portrayal as the blonde siren of the story. Scientists invade the frozen North to snare specimens of animal life for an English zoo. There they find in the role of Aigo, Greenland’s greatest hunter. During the expedition he conceives a strange and idealistic passion for the photograph of the leading scientist’s daughter. The scientists return to London with Aigo. Bewildered and enthralled by the amazing world of civilisation, Aigo begins to forget his young native wife in his infatuation for the cultured Mayfair belle. Then the spark which ignites an explosion of emotions is accidentally struck, and the young hunter’s dream world crashes about him. Box plans at the D.I.C.
