AMUSEMENTS.

TO-NIGHT AND TUESDAY.

“TRANS-ATLANTIC.”

Anchors ; a weigh! Full speed ahead! Thbse wild' lilce their thrills and romance sprayed with -the brine of the sea, arfd Savoured with the luxury of a deluxe ocean liner are recomemnded h (to the Princess Theatre where the Fox l .drama ' “Vrajis-Atlantic,” with Ed- • ■ rnund Lowe, and Lois Moran in the Vblading roles is now sailing, its enter-taining-course. . From the '• moment Edmund Lowe, as a suave and debonair gambler slips aboard ; the sJ. Trahs-Atlantic, to escape the district '"s/ttbrney’s graft , probe until the ocean greyhound docks ;- at -its 'European ’ port • things bejih to happen rapidly, and not only to Lowe, y; but to 'his fellow passengers who include Lois Moran ag, the daughter of a German lens grinder, iihpersonated by Jean Hersholt, and an 'absconding banker, played by John Ha 11 id ay, whose nefarious t operations have cost Hersholt his life: savings.

To add to the complications Holliday is accompanied by his wife, Myrna Loy, and aboard ship is also Halliday’s light o’ love, a role portrayed by Greta Nissen.

Lowe gives, what in this reviewer’s estimation..'is the best performance of his; career while, Lois Moran is as sweet "and convincing as she was in anjr ;pf her-late .pictures. Greta Nissen lends botb her talent, and blonde beauty to the . production, while Myrna Loy shows that'r'she. isequally ..capable in a sympathetic--foie "as -she is in an exotic one. .' Jean - Hersholt and John Hallidav both deal of credit, for thdir - splendid f performances as does William who did an excellent job of direction. Good supports,
