"SINS OF THE CHILDREN."

Variety in the motto of motion picture producers and Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer is proving o... «x- ception to the rule. Having ro ently offered movie-goers a wide choice back-slage

of

comedias, musical. Fevues, English drawing- room farcos, sophisticated divores dramas and stories of the gruat outdoors, it is now presenting Sins of the Children,' an intit inate story of family life, of the type which Emil Jannings rando so popular.,

The picture is showing for the last time to-day it at Queen's Theatre with a cast which, includes Louis Ma, Robert. Montgomery. Ellicht Nugent, Leila Hyams, Clara Blandick. Mary Doran, Francis X. Bushman Jr, Robert MeWede, Dell Denderson, Henry Armetta, Jano Reid, James Donlan Jenne Wond, Leo Ichimar and a number of child netora.

Ma, who is probably one of the best khown ations on the Ameri. can sugo as n ecutemporary ef Weber and Fields, David Warfiled David Bolnaco and De Wolf Hop- per, makes his initial appearance on the kereen in "Sins of the Children." He was induced "to play the featured role of the old Gerinin barber while in Hollywood for the purpose of appearing in the old-timers' section of M-G-M's forthcoming extravaganza of the past, present and future, tempor. arily titled "March of Time.

As the old German, who comes to America and garifices every thing for his children, only to seo them drift away from him, the veteran actor has a part for which he is eminently qualified.

Could a woman ever be mistaken in the identity of her husband? Modern plastic surgeons reply that she could.

This theme is sickingly present. ed in "Scotland Yard, Fox Movietone drama in which Edmund Lowo portrays two roles, now, to be seen at the King's Theatre.

In directing this picture, Wil liam K, Howard had, one of the most 'ncvel, yet at the same time inpst dramatic plats ever brought to the audible screen. The story deale with the efferis of a criminal to regain his lost place in decent society through the love of a faith. ful wife who accepts him as her lawful husband..

This tense situation is brought about when Lowe, as "Dakin Bar rollo" the micet famous bank rob her in England, forces himself into Sir John Lasher's honeymoon with Xandra, portrayed by Joan. Bon- nett. He steals a locket contain ing her picture and that of Sir John,

Later, Sir John is reported mis sing, Meantime, Barrolles wounded and taken to the base hospital unconscicua. There, the surgeon rebuids his face to the likeness of the one he finds in the lockel, which is that of Sir John Lasher...

Sealand Yard detectives traces Barrplies to the hospital, but are amaze to find their man to be Sir John Lasher. They notify Xandra that her husband is safe.

Barrolles realizes that it he makes known the deception that has been forced upon him he will have to give hims f up to Scot land Yard. If he remaina, as. Sir John, Lasher he will decaive the woman who trusts, him and whom he hus learned to love
