V 1 : I .on CIr.'.ney, in his first c!'vui role since his sensational success several years ago in "He Who Gets Slapped." comes Monday and linsday to the Idle, Hour theatre, when he will ap pear as the central figure of .Herbert J'renon's elaborate production, "Laugh, Clown, Laugh." The new play, adapt ed by Metro-Goldwyn-. Mayer from the celebrated stage drama, sees Chancy starring in the role ot the tragic clown made famous before the foot lights by Lionel Barrymore. ' The new picture is a vivid drain of backstage life of the theatre, with Chancy in tch role of a clown who, for the happiness of the woman he loves, makes a tragic sacrifice. Lorctta Young, new discovery. of the screen, plays 'the heroine, Simonetta, and Nils Asther.o f "Sorrell and Son," the juvenile lead as Luigi. Bernard Sieg'el, Gwen Lee, Cissy Fit-Gerald and others of note are in the cast. A massive reproduction of a great European theatre and other elaborate settings lend lavishness to the tense drama. c Chancy runs the . gamut of thespian art, appearing as a ludicrous comedian in the theatre scenes, and in others plumbing the depths of tragedy. '. Herbert Brenon, who directed the picture, is famous as the director if "Beau Geste," "Sorrell and Son," "Peter Pan," "God Gave Me Twenty Cents," "The Sideshow of Life" and many other notable plays.
