AJ.;,0UTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE By Cond
SHERRY'S
in Moving
Famous Old Play Done
Pictures.
The late E. S. 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.
The plat itself is intensely dra
matic, and tho manne:- in whiiih Mr
Power plays the sersv-.to and distinct!
roles of John Needh.-..L ard Joseph

study in dramatic art ns combined
