NEW THEATRE WILL
SHOW SEA PICTURE

The age-old law of the sea will be
graphically shown in new Fairbanks,
Jr., film at New Theatre Sandstone
Sunday and Monday.
The old custom which dictates that
a commander must stand by sink
ing ship until all hands are off is
graphically displayed in Its Tough
To Be Famous" the First National
picture starring Douglas Fairbanks,
Jr., at the Sandstone Theatre Sunday
and Monday.
Doug. Jr., appears in the role Of
commander of submarine which has
been sunk by a steamship. With
death rapidly closing on the COM
mander and his crew, he offers the
men a gamble for safety by shooting
them to the surface of the sea via
the torpedo tubes. They accept and
all are saved by rescue ships which
have arrived in response to the steam
ships distress signals.
Only Fairbanks, Jr., and his second
in command are left in the submarine.
David Landau, who appeared with
Fairbanks in Union Depot" refuses to
leave the undersea boat, offering to
remain and release the younger man,
even though the code of the sea die
tates that he remain until the last
man is saved, after which there would
be no one to operate the tube for his
own release. Landau offers to sacri-
flee himself and Fairbanks agrees, to
all intents and purposes. What hap
pens thereafter constitutes one of the
most unusual scenes recorded by a
motion picture camera and yet per-
mits Doug. Jr., to abide by sailors
ethics.
Supporting the younger Fairbanks
in tits Tough To Be Famous" are
Mary Brian, Walter Catlett, Oscar
APPEL, Emma Dunn and Lillian Bond.
