furnishes; them with a new vehicle for characterisation as they go blunderingly vii, tirst with Dane as a stoker and Arthur as v his stowaway, pal/ and later in the. Chinese coolie disguises. The Chinese settings, too, are remarkable in their faithfulness to our conception ,6i what a C£in<?see setting should look like. The frtpfy* is' a splendid comedy and provides many opportunities for the bulky' antics of the huge Dane,' who in this picture unlike others, ia his partner's pal and not his rival in love. Each has a sweet? fteart. Polly Moran playing this role for Ban* 1, arid Josephine Dunn as leading la&y for Arthur. They are menaced not only by Angus McAlister.
