DAILY TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1922. 21 MOTION PICTURES MOTION PICTURES RARE CAST. BARRY MORE, AND MYSTERY AT CAPITOL "TFRELD RMORGvi7 By McELLIOTT. Sherlock Holmes is by far the most thrilling character in detective fiction. He's always the man who plays the last card, holds the whip nhand and that kind of thing.

So satisfactory, I think, to be sure your hero is going to come up smiling and with a pipe in his mouth! it was undoubtedly a happy thought, makinjr a picture about him, and putting Jack Barrvmore in the title I i -Mifc iuic was nine suon 01 inspiration. iir. Barrymore nas NJX a ir of infallibility, anyhow. He seemed, in "The Jest," to be inevitably the man for that job. He was a pencil luejiara ill to maiy ways of thinking.

And I cannot think of a more suave Sherlock Holmes. Really, you will have an awfully good time watch-ins him work in this film. If you have a small neighbor who is in the throes of detective literature take his hand and lead him to the Capitol Theatre, too. I fancv little Robert Sehable boys are going to deriwe an immense kick from the story and the manner of its telling. The Voices of London Say to You of tlie greatest sensations in the way of emotional entertainment lliat London ha rer known is "Orphans of the "Different altogether from drama ordinarily -on-cehed either on stage or screen.

Indeed there is a quality in its immense orchestration of pie-lures, threaded with the theme of the hapless girl's Calvary during the Freiu Revolution," which raises film making almost to the scale of Wagnerian dynamics "There is the spiritual insight of Shakespeare in it. One knew that sooner later Griffith would drie the critics to seek parallels for his genius in other paths of art." London Express. ithout a dull moment "Orphans of the Storm'' stamp Griffith as a producer of genius The historical details are admir-ahle and wonderfully done every child in London should be taken to see Lrdon Timrt. "It is the greatest picture play 1). W.

Griffith has yet made It may he douhted whether more convincing exhibition of the tender jas-sion las ever heen seen either on stage or screen With it Griffith has set standard for other. producers to emulate." London Telt "Contrived on a monumental scale, this picture again demonstrates that Griffith is unquestionably the greatest film producer in the norld." London rost. "It makes demands upon our imagination and. then gives us something handsome in return. London Observer.

"Certainly a masterpiece the climax is moft sensational acting of Lillian Gish is inspired a perfect film." London This week, will he the last lime this season you can see this film, showing only at the Mark Strand Theatre, Broadway at 17th St. the raulkner case is the one on which the supersleuth works in this. Alice Faulkner Carol Dempster) owns some letters which her sister received from Prince Alexis (Reginald Denny) years before. She proposes to make the Prince pay for his indiscretions by sending them- to his royal fiancee. The Prince has retained Sherlock to get them away from Alice.

Moriarty (Gustave von Seyffertitz) is Holmes's sworn enemy, and has set about to foil him. There you have a 7 Carol Dempster and John Barrymore pretty kettle of fish The London scenes were taken in London. That's nice, it? And all the eerie atmosphere of the story has been preserved in toto. Somehow or other Carol Dempster is robbed of the mystic loveliness which was hers in "Dream Street." You are always striving, as the reels unwind, to see the poesy of her face. She is perhaps a little overpowered, working with The Barrymore.

However, this does not stain the bright record of "Sherlock Holmes." No less a person than the ineffable Roland Young plays Watson! That in itself is worth the price of admission.
