"MADAME X" TELLS GRAPHIC
STORY IN STIRRING ALL
TALKING FILM
"Madame X," famous stage, play,
vehicle for Sarah ' Bernhardt; for
Pauline Frederick, for Dorothy Don
nelly and many other famous acress
es, come Monday and Tuesday to the
Macon theatre in its ultra modern
form, as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's lat
est all-talking drama uf the screen.
With Ruth Chatterton, celebrated
stage star, in the title role, and. di
rected by Lionel Barrymore, erstwhile
stage idol, and lately turned" film di
rector, the play, while it tells the
same graphic story as the older stage
version, is produced on ultra modern
lines,' with rapid fire action "and dia
logue worked out for the screen by
Willard Mack.
The new picture is gorgeously stag
ed, locales all over , the world being
shown in its swift action, and one
of the most notable casts of former
stage celebrities, ever assembled for
a screen drama, appears.
Lewis Stone plays the husband, and
Raymond Hackett, of "The Trial of
Mary Dugan" fame, the son and. at
torney for the defense. Richard Carle,
old-time Broadway star and now a
screen player, Mitchell Lewis, Eugenie
Besserer, Holmes Herbert, Ullric
Haupt, Sydney Toler, and many oth
ers are in the cast.
The play opens in Paris, and then
follows the tragic "Madame X" in
her dramatic wanderings to China, the
Islands of South America and other
colorful locales, showing in vivid and
terrible fashion her slow degrcdation,
until she reaches the depth of de
spair where she commits murder.
It is Barrymore's first directorial
effort with a feature length drama,
and follows his recent sensatona.l suc
cess "Confession." Carrol Nye who
played in the former picture, inciden
tally, plays in "Madame X." and
Hackett, who plays the youthful at
torney, once supported Barrymore on
the stage in "The Copperhead."
The construction of the modernized
version is a clever mingling of screen
and stage technique. The dialogue is
handled much after the stage fashion,
but the plo.t and movement is based
entirely on .the swift action of the
silent picture. For the first time
"closeups" and other devices of- the
silent , screen have been successfully
used in the talking dramaj unique ef
fects thus being worked out.
