Wonder Picture Of Year Opens
Tomorrow Night

Vivid, tremendous, exciting and re-
markable is the story of early whal-
Ing days as will be seen In the screen
at Fox's theater tomorrow evening.
Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday
when Down to the Sea in Ships" will
be featured. On the Sunday program
there will be the additional feature
starring John Gilbert In THE Mad

one of the most marvelously amazing

the best. A frail little boat and It's

the climax Of this wonder-p picture, the
most astounding piece of photography
of its kind ever made. 1t actually was
filmed in mid-Atantic with 80 ton
sperm whale as the principal actor
and the hand of chance the deciding
factor in the battle between man and
mammal.
The picture brings out graphically
the whaling industry Of the forties and
fifties: vet there also is woven into 1t
romance, the background of which
is colored with a rich glamor,
Optimism is the keynote OF Mary

the gripping scenes in this picture.

of which is a raid on counterfeiters
