THEATERS

Following 4 canvass Of all the
available acting taller in the mo-
tion picture industry House Peters,
former north woods star Of the
screen and stage, and one Of the
best known character men of eth
er histrionic medium, was chosen
for the important role of Sergeant
Malone Of the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police, in Lucien Hub
bard s screen version Of "Rose-
Marie," " Mctro-Goldwyn- Mayer
production which opens tomorrow
night Mt the Valley theater.
Peters has played in so many
northwestern film stories that his
name is almost synonymous with
that type of screen drama.
To make his acting moro realistic
he has lived a life of adventure
comparable to almost anything
seen on the screen. He was born
in Australia and came to the Unit
ed States when he was sixteen
years old.
lie went on the stage here but
quit the footlights to join a New
Zealand regiment during the Boer
war in South Africa. After the
war he Travelled throughout the
world and again returned to Aus
traiia, where he gained fame on
the stage.
His talent was next given to the
London stage and then to Broad
way. Years ago he saw the posi-
bilities of the film industry and left
the footlights for the kleigs.
By curious coincidence Peters
has nearly always been cast in pic
lures Of which storms play an i'm
portant part. Looking back over
his career we see that he played
in "The Storm, " "Thc Tornado, "
"Thc Stormbrcaker, "Head
Winds" " "Prisoncrs of the Storm
and "IsObel."
Joan Crawford who recently
played opposite John Gilbert in
