"HONOR THY NAME" (Triangle). "Honor Thy isame," the Triangle feature scheduled for release on August 6, brings Frank Keenan and Charles Ray together as co-stars. The combination is a particularly happy one, as both men work well together, and the strong, rugged characterizations for which Mr. Keenan is deservedly popular, and the youth and virility of Mr. Ray's work is an excellent contract. Louise Glaum is particularly well cast in the leading female role and acts with a keen appreciation of the possibilities of her part throughout the entire story. "Honor Thy Name'' is a story of a Southern gentleman who, having had his fling as a youth, settles down to dignified respectability in the waning years of his life. Of course, the spectacular climax of the story is one of the "chief features of the play, but that aside, the story is worthy of the best that is said of motion pictures, because of the remarkably fine acting contributed by every member of the cast. The siory is, staged with a view of getting full value from each of the dramatic scenes. It is realistic both where the action transpires in the South and where it takes place in New York. A point of considerable interest in "Honor Thy Name" is the extensive use of the new lighting effects, hints of which have been given in several recent Triangle plays. There is also a development of the old-fashioned term fade-in, which adds not a little to the value of the picture and is certain to arouse the interest of moving picture fans.
