BILLIE DOVE IS
SEEN IN SEA
MYSTERY

Unity of time, place and action
is always valuable though by no
means often employed on stage or
screen as Aristotle would have
hoped for.
In "The Night Watch" starring
Billie Dove, which is now on the
Earle screen, the action is mostly
on board a French cruiser on the
eve of the World War. "A French
courtroom Is the only other scene
OF Importance. Most OF the Inn
portant scenes take place during
a night-s''the night before Arma-
geddon."
The story centers about one
woman and three men. The.
woman is Miss Dove, wife OF the
captain OF the cruiser. Donald
Reed Is one OF the men, one Who
would like to be her lover; Paul
Lulcas is the captain; Nicholas
Soussan Is the cynical and re-
vengeful heavy.
About the quartet Is woven q
drama that is one of the most
poignant ever conceived Alex
andrer Korda, who directed the
picture, has given 1t the true Euro
pean atmosphere and quality. The
scenes are ell effective, the drama
is convincing, and 1t ID declared
that in no recent First National
picture has the beautiful star APP
peared to better advantage.
The settings are really superb.
That on the turret deck Of a
cruiser, with the enormous guns,
and the various trappings, the
sailors and the activity. Is excep-
tional. These match with actual
ship scenes made at sea. Then
the French court, so different
from those in this country, the
brilliant assemblage Of officers IN
their glittering uniforms, lending
an air of distinction and unusual
ness to the tribunal.
There Is murder, the trial
starts, and then the story is re-
capitulated as 1t occurred. show
ing how the wife fought for her
honor and how the actual crime
was committed.
1t Is an unusual handling OF an
unusual picture that should please

lend new luster to Miss Doves

ti0nal actress of rare beauty and
ability

PLAY

During a performance of Ora

Count Dracula makes his exit
through a trap in the last act. The
trap failed to work and Dracula's
head was above the stage. Some
one in the balcony cried out:

heIlr'
sRaymond Huntley, who plays
this role OF Dracula, has found
that it has its drawbacks, especi-
ally when he wants service at his
hotel. Mr.. Huntley presented the
porter with seats to witness the
performance. When he returned
to the hotel after the performance
and requested the porter to come
to his room for an errand, think.

courtesy of the passes, Huntley
was surprised when the porter in
