Show I "CONDEMNED" TALE OF DEVIL'S ISLAND Following close on his tremendous success of "Bulldog Drummond," Ronald Ron-ald Colman's latest starring picture, "Condemned!" comes to the Victory Theatre on Sunday. It was produced by Samuel Gold-wyn. Gold-wyn. Set as it is in the famous French penal colony of Devil's Island ! in South America, with a brilliant cast of stage and screen favorites, "Condemned!" is said to be Colman's greatest picture. Colman's role is that of a dashing French thief sent to serve a term in the hideous prison which the French call "The Island of Living Death." ; Opposite him in the cast is Ann Hard-j Hard-j ing, noted Broadway stage star, whose stage performance in "The Trial of Mary Dugan" made her international-, international-, ly famous, and who had been lately I successful in her first picture, "Paris Bound." Louis Wolheim., favorite character actor, has another prominent promin-ent role, as also has Dudley Digges, star of the New York Theatre Guild. The fever-infested swamps which make escape from Devil's Island practically prac-tically impossible, the sordid horrors of prison ships and squalid cells, combined com-bined with the growth of a pure love between a convict and a beautiful girl, give "Condemned!" unique and picturesque qualities. Its Settings, designed by William Cameron Menz-ies, Menz-ies, are said to be the most striking work ever clone by this world-famous artist in picture settings. |
