SiDEllGHTS
AT ARCADIA

The historic death Of Lord Nelson,
patterned after the famous paint
ing Of that tragic event, is one OF
the unusual scenes in The Divine
Lady" the First National picture
starring Corrine Griffith, which Is
now showing here at the Arcadia
theater.
The painting. by "A. W. Davis,
shows the famous hero in the hold
Of the Victory" his last command,
surrounded by ships officers. physi-
clans and heart-broken sailors who
had long worshiDped him.
Nelson. who came out Of retire
ment to meet the combined Euro
pean fleets in the Battle off Cape
Trafalgar, was MORALLY wounded
Just as the engagement was being
won by the British.
He was carried to a place Of safe
ty on the boat where physicians were
working over the wounded and, on
learning that his injuries weer ia
tai, ordered the doctors to attend
the other men instead wasting their
time on him.
The tableau OF the painting was
duplicated almost perfectly by Frank
Lloyd, director or the picture, from
photographs Of the original paint
ing.
Victor Varconi plays the role Of
Nelson in the picture. the most
prominent role in support Of Miss
Griffith.
