Smart brilliant well acted and directed. rot annoying, however, and Miss Shearer more than counter-balances this by the smoothness of her performance and her personal magnetism. She was easily the star of the production, although Rathbone and George Ear-raud have the two opposite roles, either one which is of stellar possibilities.

Here again it was Barraud as the villain who gave the better readme. Rathbone seemed inclined to sneers, a matter that made his ultimate heroics a little hard to take. Herbert Bunston, who played the idiotic Lord Elton in the stage version with Ina Claire, duplicated his theater success in the talking version. "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney" is the story of high life in Mayfair and concerns the manner in which a set of crooks duped a group of lords and ladieg and nearly robbed them as well.

Something of this nort was done in "Cheating Cheaters'' and kindred dramas, but not with the sliill in which it fashioned by Frederick Lonsdale. The author approaches his melodramatic scenes with an air of nonchalance that makes for good fun, and the picture players, directed by Kidney Franklin, seemed to catch the spirit of the dramatist. Only in one instance, the rlinmx of the bedroom scene, did Miss Shearer and Rathbone become too seriously Impressed with the pyrotechnics. Franklin's adaptation follows the tnge play closely. He did have aonie trouble getting under way and cut a good bit of the comedy from (leorge K.
