Successful Comedy Now Filmed
With Lytell In Lead.
"Lombard!, Ltd.," that novel com
edy which has for its hero a male
modiste, is the picture which will bs
featured at the Strand theater this

Two characteristic selections will en
liven the programme with the clever
humor which Strand audiences are
beginning to expect from musicians
under the direction of Phillip .Pels.
They are a characteristic comedy,
"Whistler and His Dog," by Pryor and
a characteristic waltz, "Lorn du Bal,"
by E. Gillette.
Bert Lytell Is the star of 'Txm
bardt, Ltd.." which will be remem
bered as the comedy drama which
was shown . at ths Heilig theater
during mid-summer with such suc
cess. In the stellar role of its screen
production Mr. Lytell has been given
the biggest opportunity he has yet
had since appearing in motion pic
tures. To be chosen as the lead for
"Lombard!, Ltd." is a far greater
honor for Lytell than his previous
starring vehicles for the reason that
this play has been produced on a tre
mendously elaborate scale and will
be used throughout the country as a
special feature production.
There are three characteristics of
this play: Fun, beautiful gowns and
even more beautiful women. The
fun centers about the Incidents which
occur in the suite of a successful
designer of costly gowns. The audi
ence is shown ths inside workings of
this shop and the comedy proceeds as
this dapper Italian drapes rich vel
vets and satins about his pretty
models.

tures of a double bill at the Sunset

In "A Modern Musketeer," "Doug"
holds up the mirror of the past and
compares the chivalry of olden times
to the present day. The photoplay is

with Fairbanks' recent productions
with scenes of ultra-sensationalism
and humor.
Fairbanks Interprets the role of Ned
Thacker of Kansas, who inherited the
spirit of D'Artagnan through pre
natal Influence, his mother having
been an ardent reader of Dumas, The
self-reliance of the modern wcman as
compared with her sister in past gen
erations is strikingly shown, for in
many cases the chivalry of the mod
ern D'Artagnan is mistaken and his
gallant attempts to assist ladles In
distress lead to rebukes from ths In
dependent maidens who are on the
alert to squech flirtatious pests.
However, Ned finally meets his fate
In the person of Marjorie Daw, who
plays the part of Dorothy Morane,
