It is a story of historic merit and deals with the romantic life of an Irish medico, who becomes a pirate after being sold as slave in the Bar badoes." Without doubt, Captain Blood will go down in history as one of the most romantic love stories of the Spanish main ever written, and the massiveness and elaborate staging of the picture will thrill every person who witnesses it.
 The management of the Temple is sparing no effort or expense in pre- senting Captain Blood" in Birming- ham with the same effect that it is being staged in New York city at the present time, and specifically state that there will be no advance in admission prices during its engagement.
