TOM MEIGHAN,
A SEAGOING
HERO

The spicy tang Of the salt sea
is in "Homeward Bound" the
latest Paramount offering with
Tommy Meighan in the honor
role. The film is being shown at
the Palace this week, and is worth
anybody'S admission fee. There's
scarcely a dull foot in the entire
I'VE or six reels that comprise
the photodrama.
There hardly could be. It's
taken from a tale by that dean Of
American short-story writer's,
Peter B. Kyne. In it's original
form it was called 1.-THE Light to
Leeward," and, although Home
ward Bound" as a film may not
follow over-closely upon the heels
or Its literary parent, it Is every
bit as entertaining upon the silver
sheet as the former was on the
printed page.
Ralph Ince directed, and when
he has a cast like the present one
he achieves a fine effect. Never
was genial Tom Meighan more
suitably cast-never had he a role
that seemed tailored to him any
more than that of Jim Bedford,
except, perhaps, his Mat Peas
ley characterization in Kyne's
"Cappy Ricks''-which, by the
way, was another film very sim
liar in theme and treatment to
'Homeward Bound"
Chief in his support is Lila Lee,
cuddlesome and fetching as ever.
She and Tom have one hilarious
scene in which she thrice offers
him her lips and he thrice is too
shy to take the kiss that awaits
him.
Others who contribute good
work are Charles Able, Gus Vein
berg, Maude Gordon, Hugh Cam
eron, Cyril Ring, and William T.
Carleton. Cameron in particular,
as Murphy, the second officer,
whose goat, 'Heliotrope." would
smell as sweet by any other
name, affords many of the films
best chuckles.
Subsidiary attractions include a
rip-snorting Aesop Fable cartoon
comedy called 1.-THE Bad Bandit"
which should knock you off your
seat. Topics Of the Day, Pathe
News and orchestral selections
from Jacobs 1.-THE Half Moon"
