UNFAITHFUL"
Before marriage she joined in the adulation the world gaye to the man she loved-after marriage she knows the hero-husband she married is unworthy of her love.
Such is the tenne situation which turns Ruth Chatterton from" a lovely and loving bride into a reek. less, thrill-socking globetrotter in her latest dramatic sensation, Un. 'faithful." A
Last night the story of
* Un- faithful unfolded to a tense audi- ence at the King's Theatre, where the picture is now showing. Hush- ed, expectant silence, proceeded its mounting climaxes, enthusiastic ap plause followed its final scene, For Ruth Chatterton held her audienco Spellbound, Efted it in heights of dramatie emotion, fulfilled its every expectation, in the greatest por- trayal she has given in all her re- markable screen career,
Supported by Paul Lukra, the star who made Sarah and Son," "Anybody's Woman." The Right to 'Love," thres of the 'grentest pic- tures of the year, in Unfaithful" clinches her first right to the title She is of the screen's first lady. beautiful, appealing, commanding, stperb. Chatterton has retained her most surprising talents for this master picture.
ان The story.
"Unfaithful" is
one of love and conflict and pride; of a husband who reveals himself faithless of his honeymoon of a good woman whose wounded pride whips her to reckless netions which most slandered make her the woman in Europe. She matches her husband's spurious good re- mutation with a bad reputation of her own; equally spurious. And to save her from her mad abandon, Paul Lukas, who performed so superbly with Chatterton in other réles, comes to love her.
Directed by John Cromwell, the cast of "Unfaithful" proves' itsell equal to all the exacting situations Pani which the play imposes. Cavanagh, as the husband, is a be lievable and sincere, nctor handling Juliette A difficult role skilfully.

CENTRAL THEATRE:
"CALL OF THE WEST."
Players of the adaptable type are invariably more popular with no tion picture directors than those who have actidens of their own. The reason for this is obvious: pliable thespians are quick to res pond to ideas and easy to handle This does not mean that they lack personality it simply means that they have sufficient temperament to attune themselven to the director's mood and carry out his instruc-
tions.
An cutstanding example of this of player is Dorothy Revier, Lype who is en fentured with Matt Moore in "Call of the West," the all. talk-
