ENTERTAINMENTS.

CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES TO-NIGHT. “UNCHARTED SEAS." Snowbound for eight hours, suffering from exposure and fatigue, members of the Metro company at Flag- . staff, Ariz., to picture Arctic scenes for “Uncharted Seas," found far more realism than desirable. The company, headed by Alice Lake, who is starring in the production, reached Flagstaff eight'hours behind schedule in the midst of a heavy snow storm. Director Wesley Ruggles and Rudolph Valentino, who is playing the leading male role in. the stbry, immediately • started for the camp, a few miles away, which was to serve as headquarters for the expedition. Midway, between th.e station and their destination the sledges; were caught in drifts and forced to turn back. Several hours; later other tem-> porary quarters were found, and the . seekers after snow became prisoners. For the drifting snow made movement absolutely impossible. Miss Lake was the only member of the company here who extracted a maximum of enjoyment put of Dhe situation. ~ “I enjoy snow, no- matter what quantities it may come in," she said. “I have appeared in so many water pictures that I sometimes feel that I have been forced to swim through my film jeareer. But'l am not enjoying ‘Uncharted Seas’ solely because it is a relief from the, hardships qf cold water. I love it because it is the greatest story I have read in, years, and I think you will agree it has absolutely unlimited picture possibilities.” < .
