The curator was head of the Blossom expedition
which came back from those strange regions IN south
ern seas with wealth of information and with great
variety of interesting and valuable specimens OF bird
and animal and sea life. All of these things add
greatly to the treasure of human knowledge and are
undoubtedly of infinitely value than the pirate
hoard-if such hoard actually exists.
Yet the pirate treasure appeals to many and the real
treasure to few. So contrary human folks.

Douglas Fairbanks certainly may
be said to have made the best of
the glamorous. stirring story of
The Black Pirate' which he in
troduced to his eager fandom at the
Valley Theater. yesterday. "The
Black Pirate sails suspensefully
along in the traditional romantic
course of the favored and vivid
tales of fighting buccaneers and
buried treasure. The action, while
its star is about, runs swiftly and
he is emphatically about, all the
time. Our hero captures a vessel
single handed after n series OF most
remarkable gymnastic feats atop,
beneath and generally about the
ship, he becomes. practically, cap
tain of pirate crew; along toward
the end, in case you haven't guess
ed it-he reseues the fair lady after
some spectacular under water swim
ming, attended by cohorts of deep
sea swimmers. Mr.. Fairbanks, as
matter of fact, seems in excellent
form, and what, after all, could be
more suited to his talents than
ship literally loaded down with
privates on mischief bent and fair
laddv to be rescued after startling
encounters?
Sea pictures always manage to
appear picturesque, but added to
that THE Black Pirate is splen-
didly done from a pictorial point OF
view. Made entirely IN subdued
colorings, soothing to the eye, and
relief from the prevailing black
and white, the entire film is a series
of exquisitely lovely pictures. Tech
nicolor is the process used, and the
innovation is, to our mind, notably
successful. .
A large supporting east aids Nh
Fairbanks materially in his mad ca
reer, particularly outstanding be-
ing Donald Crisp as sympathetic
Scotch pirate, Sam de Grasse as
Andres Randolf as
a pirate chief and Billie Dove as the
fair lady in distress. \ rouslng

duction, which was applauded by a
