Willard, famous English actor, employed "John Need ham's Double" as one of the pieces which first introduced him, under the management of A. M. Palmer, to American theatregoers. He used it, alternately, with "Tho Professor's Love Story," during the first few seo sons he was overe ihere. With Mr. Willard dead his proper ties have been distributed to several mtterent agencies, r.nd for moving picture purposes. Bluebird Photo plays have secured "John Needham's Double." Having decided to present the gripping melodrama the Bluebird people were fortunate in securing the services of Tyrone Power to interpret Ifte immensely difficult dual role which carries almost the entire action of the drama. Widely experienced in playing many oitterent roles, in his long years of experience upon the dramatic stage, Mr. Power has been found to be exactly suited, in "type,"' physique and histronic abilities to present in its full etfect the "double" Mr. Willard made famous. "John Needham's Dou ble" will be the attraction at the Sherry theatre when "Bluebird Day" comes around today only and there is assurance of intensely engaging en tertainment on that occasion.
