Triangle Productions
For Week of December 26th
The continuation of TRIANGLE Quality week after week, the upholding of TRIANGLE ideas month after month, and the consistent production of motion picture plays so far above the average that comparison is impossible is now assured. A word about the plays to be released for the week of December 26th may still further emphasize this point.
First there is "The Edge of the Abyss" which gives Mary Boland, the popular Broadway actress, her first opportunity on the screen. An especially strong play of modern appeal, a gripping story of intense interest combine into a particularly entertaining drama. Every woman will want to see this play of a vital domestic problem — and see it again.
Then "The Penitents," with Orrin Johnson in the title role, is another play of a distinctly new type based on the practices of a queer religious sect who flourished in Mexico in the seventeenth century. Marvelous scenic effects, wonderful acting and a tense story combine to give this play the strongest pull.
And as for the Keystones, the first "Submarine Pirate," featuring Syd Chaplin of the famous Chaplin family, is a four reeler which the New York press declared to be the very best Keystone ever produced. The Navy Department permitted the use of a U. S. Government Submarine, and after witnessing the picture decided to use it for recruiting purposes. "The Hunt" with Ford Sterling, the other Keystone, furnishes more than its share of laughter with its swift moving merrymaking, and completes a week of exceptional excellence.
