BERT LYTELL IN "THE
MISLEADING LADY" SUNDAY
“The Misleading Lady,” the Metro
special production which will run
as the feature picture at the Liberty
Sunday, is of unusual interest, since
the leading part in this play, which
can be called a cave man picture,
with an adroit twist, Is taken by
Bert Lytell.
“Tho Misleading Lady" is a pic
turization of a famous New York
stage success of tho same name,
which had such a vogue during the
ruu. The original play is by Charles
Goddard and Paul Dickey.
Bert Lytell plays the role of Jack
Craigen, the engineer just returned
from a big construction Job in Af
rica and who comes to New York
and meets a lovely society girl.
Helen Steele. Craigen's friends know
that he is an incorrigible woman
hater, and get Helen, who is decid
edly stage stnu k, to make CruigcQ
propose as an example of theatrical
skill. It is done, but Helen doesn’t
get to enjoy her reward, a place ub
leading woman in a millionaire's lit
tle “theatre." She is snatched away,
struggling, to Craigen's isolated lodge
in the Adirondaks, and there is treat
ed as she never had been treated
before.
The action of the story is brisk
ness itself, with never a slow move
ment, and a rich humor pervades
the whole, according to those who
have already seen It.
PICNIC IS ARRANGED
FOR SUNDAY, JULY 22
