Kixema Guide February 2nd to 8th, a THE UNHOLY THREE" LOX CHANEY, who died so tragically while at the very peak of film tame, has given us a most remarkable performance in his. only talking picture, "The Unholy Three." As a sinister ventriloquist, the great screen artist imitates rive different voices and he plays the parts of two very contrasting characters, one ■of which is an old voman who keeps a bird shop. Drama and Shadows in "The Unholy Three." The ventriloquist is involved in a highly ingenious robbery plot with a circus midget and a giant, aided by a girl named Rosie/ The latter complicates matters by falling in love with a clerk wdio knows nothing of the trio's activities and of whom the scheming ventriloquist is madly jealous. Lila Lee and Elliott Nugent are the young lovers. The film is extremely melodramtic and packed with genuine thrills, some of the most startling of which are provided by a huge ape. which eventually kills the giant. There is also a powerful court scene in which Lon Chaney is given ample opportunity to display his amazing gifts of vocal and facial expression. Few of those who see "The Unholy Three" are likely to be unimpressed by the exceptionally* weird and dramatic atmosphere of the film. HAVE YOU SEEN THE FREE CINEMA TICKET ON PAGE 14. 12
