appears in a new wuuam rux pnoio
play at the Sherry Theater for the
last time tonight. The picture is "Loe
and Hate."
Madame Kalich plays the part of a
woman whose home life is wrecked by
the intrusion of a man who falls in
love with her. She repels his atten
tions, and in revenge he ruins the hus
band, and finally forces him to seek a
divorce.
After the decree is granted, the
woman, goaded on by the repeated at
tentions of the man who had made
her unhappy, kills him. Then the hus
band realizes that he has been duped,
and takes his wife back to him.
In the cast supporting Madame Ka
lich are Stuart Holmes, famous Fox
heavy, Madeleine Le Nard and Ken
neth Hunter, who has appeared in
former films with the great actress.
James B. Vincent did the directing.
