THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES JAN. 7, 1928 LON CHANEY FEATURED IN ‘LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT’ Sally O’Neill Has Chief Role in ‘Becky’ at the Ohio Today —John G.ilbert to Be Seen in ‘St. Elmo’ at the Apollo All Next Week, A STRANGE old haunted castle in England, over which hangs sinister legends ot' long ago and astounding vara-' pire superstitions, still believed in by many, concerning the “un-dead” which haunt graveyards and wander, between life and death, as malevolent avengers—these form the background of “London After Midnight,” in which Lon Chaney is to be seen at the Cfrcle Theater for one week, starting today. The star plays a ,role differ- ent from any in his long and varied career, for instead of his usual sinister character he ap- pears as a Scotland Yard detective, who with scientific trend, utilizes hypnotism as a weapon against ghosts and apparitions in the haunt- ed house. Fantastic shadows, weird appari- tions in uncanny surroundings, and a supernatural horror are cloaks for an astounding plot which by the use of mental science the V detective un- ravels and reduces to everyday fact in an unusual romance. Chaney wears a series of uncanny disguises as the man-tracker, and a notable cast surrounds him, includ- ing Conrad Nagel, Marceline Day,. Henry B. Walthall, Claude King. Edna Tichenor, Polly Moran and Percy Williams. Tod Browning di- rected the production from his own original story written especially for Chaney. Reproductions of an old haunted English castle, such as one of those historically famous as a haunt for; ghosts, was an amazing feat of con- struction by studio experts for the picture. The uncanny scenes of the “flying bat woman,” and materialization of ghosts and vampires were staged by using famous stage illusions adapt- ed to the screen, and filming them as they were performed. In no case was trick photography ussd, the camera filming the “spirit” illusions just as the eye saw them. A stage specialty; a novelty over- ture. “Organ vs. Orchestra,” played by Dessa.

Counted among the oremost ro- mantic ketors of all filmdom Gilbert is admirably suited to the title role in “St. Elmo” which has had a most remarkable history. The novel, written by, Augusta Cat Aviator Puzzums. Mack Sennett’s trained bat. claims in its own feline language to be the first cat to take up aviation. And Puzzums has many feet of film in “Lcvc at First Flight” to prove that he really is a flier. Evans, was first published in 1366. Not until 1909, forty-three years later, was it dramatized and pro- duced as a play. Then for a period of years it was one of the greatest box office drawing cards in Amer- ica. Produced in cinema form its success was so great that it has now been re-issued by popular demand. The story of “St. Elmo” is familiar to thousands. It deals with a happy, prosperous Southerner. St. Elmo Thornton, who loses all interest in humanity through his misguided love for a faithless woman. His happiness shattered St. Elmo becomes an embittered, hard-heart- ed, intolerant mortal, only to have his soul reborn through the very medium by which it was destroyed—- a woman. The cast, in support of Gilbert, includes Bessie Love! Warner Bax- ter. Nigel Deßrullier and Lydia Knott.
