CONSTANCE BINNEY IN BARRYMORE FILM
Actress Has Excellent Role in “The Test of Honor.”
CONSTANCE Binney, who has a splendid part with John Barrymore, in the latest Paramount picture, “The Test of Honor,” and who was recently a member of the cast of the Frolic, has left that play because she found she could not keep up her work in the pictures and the show together, and she prefers motion pictures.
Miss Binney has succeeded in making a name for herself on the screen in a short period of time, and without much effort. She is talented and possesses all the arts and graces which go so far toward success in the pictures. Her sweet simplicity as a young girl in Mr. Barrymore’s latest picture, which will be
shown at the Theatre
next , has won the
admiration of all who have seen her acting, and director John Robertson is overjoyed when a Binney sister is cast in any of his productions.
Faire Binney, the younger of the two sisters, played the leading role in Mr. Barrymore’s recent feature, “Here Comes the Bride.” The picture is based upon E. Phillips Oppenheim’s famous novel, “The Malefactor,” and the adaptation was the work of Eve Unsell.
New Barrymore Picture
JOHN Barrymore’s new Paramount photoplay, “The Test of Honor,” is attracting large audiences to the
Theatre at every showing this week. Mr. Barrymore has a powerfully dramatic role in this unusually clever photoplay, and he is well supported by a capable cast of players, headed by Constance Binney, who was recently seen here in “Sporting Life.” Marcia Manon also has a strong role.
MANY FINE SCENES IN “THE TEST OF HONOR”
John Barrymore’s New Picture Admirably Produced.
AGNIFICENT stage settings and natural scenes distinguish “The Test of Honor,” John Barrymore’s latest Paramount starring vehicle, which will be displayed at the Theatre
next The pic
ture is based upon E. Phillips Oppenheim’s successful novel, “The Malefactor.” The adaptation was made by Eve Unsell and John S. Robertson directed.
In this charming photoplay Mr. Barrymore appears as a convict whose career is ruined by a treacherous woman whom he loved. Several of the most dramatic incidents transpire presumably at a country club, and a famous clubhouse at Piping Rock, N. Y., was employed for the purpose, with excellent effect. The massive interiors which vest the picture with a solidity seldom approached on the screen, were constructed solely for the photoplay at the Famous Players-Lasky studio in New York.
Constance Binney, who played the leading role in “Sporting Life,” has a beautiful part in support of Mr. Barrymore, while Marcia Manon, who is of stellar value, has a heavy role of great strength. The support generally is of the best.
