A Good Lively One, This.

We have yet to see Walsh picture
that didn't take we'll with the public
and some have made good deal Of
talk. The Fox, Walsh, five-reel fea.
turo, Never Say Quit at the Nelson,
/ is both amusing to the point of hearty
laughter and exciting and 1t has that
hard.to-define, Walshness which some
how insures the spectators sympathy.
1t is not great or big attraction, but
It is surely likeable. A good deal of
1t is set on a schooner which is sup
posed to be sailing, but which is too
plainly at anchor. The final mixup.
when an ensign from S. c. 143 brings
US. sailors to the rescue over the rail
of the piratical schooner, is play to
the gallery. The rest of the picture is
largely critic proof and as a whole 1t
gets over. 1t will be liked for its hui
man and red.blood interest and will go
anywhere.
The players, among whom are Flor
ence Dixon as the heroine, and Jean
Acker as a big-eyed vamp. are of the
usual Fox quality which is markedly
high even in the smallest parts. The
sets are full of interest and the d.
'rection fills the requirement with abil-
ity and good taste.
