AMUSEMENTS AND MEETINGS
THE DTTCH ESS THEATRE (Aramoho). Almost every race mingles in the bizarre Oriental scenes, laid in Singapore in Lon Chaney’s new Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer vehicle, “The Road to Mandalay,” in which ho plays a sinister ruler of an Oriental underworld. It gets away from the mysterious Far East of conventional drama, and with a grim realism plunges into the land of to-day —and through Singapore and Mandalay —crossroads of the world. This new play, finally screening at the Duchess Theatre to-night, is a mystery drama, presenting Chaney in what is perhaps the strangest make-up of his career. Lois Moran, Owen Moore, Henry B. Walthall, Kamiyama So jin, and. other well-known players appear, under the direction of Tod Browning. An excellent supporting programme is shown, including a two-reel comedy, Path© News, scenic and “Bee’s Knees,” another of ■“The Telephone Girl” series.
