THE Shark" the William Fox pro-
duction at the Crescent theatre.
This tense sea story of luck, lure
and love holds the close attention
of the audience from start to fin

in search of adventure. She is
captured by a human devil and is
saved from a horrible fate by a
man who would destroy her, but
whose manhood is awakened by
her helplessness. He becomes her
protector and fights for her safety
and her life. He wins first her ad-
miration, then her love.
The story is written by Thorn
as F. Fallon and the play was d.
rected by Dell Henderson. In the
cast are Mary Hall, Robert Broder-
lex, William Nally, James Mack
and Henry Pemberton.
