"On the High Seas

Adventurous romance and de-
lightful comedy suffuse the screen
at Crandall's the first three days
of the current week. Capacity
crowds were attracted yesterday
by the prospect of seeing Dorothy
Dalton and Jack Holt, supported
by Mitchell Lewis, in Paramount IS
production of "On the High Seas
and Mr.. and Mrs Carter De
Haven in their own production of
Twin Husbands" There are. of
course, also the customary abbrev-
lated camera subjects and pipe
organ accompaniment to add good
measure to the program.
On the High Seas" reveals the
romance that developed when a
beautiful heiress and two stOkers

together as the only survivors of
a shfpwreck on the way nome
from the Orient One of the
stokers was all brute, the other
part man. Adrift for hours they
finally succeeded in boarding a
derelict which proved to be a
plague ship full of victims of a
deadly malady. After putting the
craft in habitable shape the three
settled down TO routine that
soon developed a complication SO

so thrilling that it's nature may
not in justice be disclosed to

DISTRESS
AT MET.

Once again the silversheet of
the Metropolitan is graced by
Katherine Macdonald, "the Amer
lean beauty" in her latest vehicle,
1.-THE Woman Conquers."
Let us turn for moment from
our daily tasks and gaze in upon
q woman who is surrounded by
an atmosphere OF luxury, who is
greeted, upon awakening with
s every manifestation from roses to
engagement rings. Her every
within granted, she lives in q
realm of artificiality, stif1ed by
the emptiness of it.
Let US bear further and see
our woman revolt at this veneer
and pretenset of the shallow So
.ciety which engulfs her. See her
cast aside the cloak of convention
atty, see her desires become de-
termination to seek the truer life.
And we follow her to the great
Eorthland.l where hardships and
courage prove the man, and
there see our delicate creature
trembling in the grasp of the
primitive which she sought But
then we see a change and from
the fires of the crucibIe. the con-
queror energies.
The Woman Conquers'' is an
illustration of the maxim 1.-The
story's the thing for this is what
makes the picture. Devoid OF
all that is spectacular, it is just
a story, and a very good story,
logically told and with a novelty
that is interesting. Not oyerdone
emotionally acceptance is not
gained by illusion. For these
very reasons we feel safe in
recommending this production
trusting that you will find it not
only enjoyable but profitable, for
It's entertaining.
The cast is notable, headed by

be found June Elvidge. Mitchell

it il our verdict that this is one

cinematic technique, it possesses
those qualities or story, direction,
. and acting that will elicit admira-
ton from even the most discrini-

and as we contrast that prodllc-
ton with the present, we begin
to realize what gigantic strides
have been made in the motion

fact is borne home to US that

through which classics may end
nate and be done over again with
an entirely different cast of play
ers, new technical machinery and

have done much to make this a
superior production.

figure, John Storm. formerly

Dix comes to the front and does
