Modern Screen "Tonight" . . . Tsarakov murmured TSARAKOV, the mad genius, plotted! Nothing must stand in the way of his success. And what a success — for the great dancer he had hoped to be, danced on another's legs! A cripple, he could never attain the ambition which dominated all his dreams. Instead he reared Fedor, a small boy whom he had rescued from a cruel foster father, and made a great dancer of him. But Tsarakov erred, for he was molding more than clay. He had not counted on living, breathing, pulsating youth — and love. And when the lovely Nana captured Fedor's heart, Tsarakov shuddered at the thought of a ruined career — his career. Yes, he won his point. He parted the pair . . . but at what a price . . . and with what permanence? You'll thrill to the story of John Barrymore's newest masterpiece, "THE MAD GENIUS." In every page you'll see his figure, as the ruthless Tsarakov, limping through this powerful story. It's in the December Screen Romances — on sale now.
