DIXON R. L. SCHEE A big bank robbery and the work ing of a band of counteafeiters are two ot the striking visualizations in Mae Marsh a latest production, "Tn. Face in the Dark," a Goldwyn pic turixation of Irvin S. Cobb's popular i story. ! Mr. Cobb, always with an eye to ! something novel, hit upon the idea of making the one band of criminals i both a counterfeiting and a bank-rnb-jbing outfit. Banks would be robbed I and the "queer" substituted for the genuine currency, and in many cases the thefts went unnoticed for long periods. One scene shows the band at work on the bank safe. The outer doors, of Harveyized steel, Buccumb to drill and nitroglycerine and the furniture around the vault is shattered. So cleverly do these robbers work that the bank officials after discovering their loss, find it simple, in order to avert a run on the bank to hide the facts from the press and public. While this ruse helped tbe bank, it made the criminals less wary of being captured, and further depredations are shown at two other financial in stitutions. Just as strikingly realistic is the Incident revealing the band of coun terfeiters at work while the city sleeps. The bogus bills are being turned out by hundreds to take the place of genuine money in a bank while others of the band are seeking their next scene of operations. Watch ers are seen outside the den seeking to thwart the secret service men and the local police. It remains for Jane Ridgewey (Mae Marsh) to stop the criminal band in its tracks by her remarkable deduc tions in the role of feminine Sherlock Holmes in "The Face in the Dark" at the Lyrlo theater beginning August 1.
