There are few persons who haven't read and hold in senti- mental regard Alex. Dumas' strongest masterwork "KHAN" known the world over. It is a powerfully dramatic tale, relating the life' and unhappy ending of Edmund Kean, whom the critics and public alike, hailed not only as Britain's foremost actor of that period, but as one of the greatest dramatic genius of all time.
It is a picture of love and despair, of Dreams and Ashes, of Dreams. A picture that will grip and hold the poignant appeal which will reach deeply into every human heart. It is a living breathing document of real life.
..
Mr. MOZUKİN Europe's greatest actor on the screen, assisted by and exceptionally talented cast, comprising N. Losienko & Nio Koline, is onacting a role of heavy dramatic exactions, and he succeeds in registering almost the entire gamut of emotions in a manner of such certainty that hie work in "Kean" touches probably the uppermost point of the dramatic attainment of his career.
