Created years ago by Ernest William Hor nung and Eugene Presbrey, the char acter of “Raffles” has steadily in creased in popularity. The Univer sal production adapted from these fa mous stories is an intriguing melo drama in which secret closets, sliding panels, piVot doors, a hunted man and a girl evading London’s clever est man hv.nVrs play an important part. House Peters as “Raffles” give« one of the best performances of his rather unusual career as a screen star. He is surrounded by a capable cast of favorites, Miss Du pont, Hedda Hopper, Frederick Es- m el ton, Walter Long, Winter Hall Bottemley, Lillian Langdon and Kate Lester, Freeman Wood, Roland Robert Bolder. Youth, love and romance are laid bare in “Tarnish,” the George Fitz maurice production First National picture, presented by Samuel Gold wyn. It is an adaptation of Gilbert Emery’s famous stage play, a drama of real life. The photodrama delves so deeply into the human fabric that one is forced to choke back the lump that rises in the throat. The prom inent roles are in the capable hands of Marie Prevost, the vamping mani curist; May McAvoy, the charming heroine; Roland Coleman, the roman tic youth, and such players as No» man Kerry, Harry Myers, Priscilla Bonner, Albert Gran and Mrs. Russ Whytall.
