JOHN BARRYMORE AT
 THE LIBERTY THEATRE

The feature at the Liberty Thea tre this evening is a new talking version of that famous sea story, "The Sea Beast" in which John Barrymore made such a great hit several years ago.
 The play is the account of whaling vessel and it's crew in the days when the full-rigged sailing ship was at the height of it's glory. The tale is built around the disaster a white marked whale brought to many whaling crews and of it's final pursuit and cap ture by half-crazed man whom the sea beast had maimed.
 The feature is extremely realistic and true to the times, showing the then thriving business of shanghaing men, both in New England and that famous adven- ture port Singapore.
 The full rigged vessel used in this picture is one of the last to sail the seas
