Lee as the daughter, nor jacqueline
Logan as the native girl. James Kirk
wood was better as Robert Herricls,
still he seemed bit vague and shad-
owy. One did not feel any better ac-
quainted with him when he faded out
at the end than one did when he faded
in at the beginning. None of the
people, with the exception Of Mr., 'Uish
and Captain Davis reacted to anything
in the way you expected them to do.
Much ado was made over the fact
that Robert Herrick never would be
allowed to leave the island of the pearl
fisheries alive, and the daughter hid
him over by the lagoon and they all
risked their lives to get him off safely
when the natives set out to hunt him
with spears; and then Ruth Attwater
walks in and says calmly: Father,
| have been walking with Robert Her
rick. | love him" OF course she
might easily have loved him, he being
the only white man she ever had seen,
but why waye red flag at bull 2
And then, ia Ruth and Robert could
leap off the burning ship into the
water and escape, why couldn't father
do the same thing? Why did he have
TO stand on the burning deck whence
all but him had fled?

plucked her from the octopus as easily
as though those tentacles had been
made of dough, Perhaps the fact that
our sympathies were with the poor
fish rather than with the lady made
a difference, too. Nobody loves an oc-

turn, while heroine always has
everything her own way.
