“ISLE OE LOST SHIPS.”

r ' ALL TALKING DRAMA

No producer has dared to he so imaginative and (succeeded in being likewise so strikingly realistic and convicing as the producers of ‘‘The

Isle of Lost Ships,” since the time

when the same company sponsored ( ‘Who Lost. World.” That, perhaps, [ explains why this FirPt National oi--1 fering at the Princess '’theatre tonight (Thursday) is. so refreshing and thrilling. It takes a very striking romantic and dramatic situation, shipwrecks all the characters, and plunges them, drama, romance and all. into the world’s still unexplored, enigmatic region—the Sargasso Sea. For Virginia Valli and Jnsin Robards (the lovers of the story) and -Robert O’Connor , (who plays a detective), the Sargasso Sea proves to he inhabited. There’s a little colony there under the rule of an ex-whaling ship captain, portrayed by Noah Kerry J ( *fty men and two women make up the colony. Of course, the director did not neglect the ’•-.opportunities afforded lor thrilling action. We’re even taken below . surface of the .sea for <> submarine ride! The love ...affair is novel and satisfying, and tiie piduic also abounds in humor. “The Isle of Lost Ships.” is a film about which we must repeat that oldest, - most * hackneyed admonition: “You can’t afford to miss it.” It’s different, it’s artistic arid (limaginative and adventurous And above, all, it s highly entertaining. You will long rcinembei how it held you spellbound. Also good Short Talkies. Pi ices. 2s and Is 6d, plus tax.
