Presenting a brilliant oast of prominent screen players, headed by winsome Colleen Moore, ‘“Through the Dark,” from Jack Boyle’s ‘Boston Blackie” story, “The Daughter of Mother McGinn,” to be screened at the Royal on Wednesday. “Through the Dark” is a crook picture that should find an appeal That love levels all ranks and that the straight path is the only one to follow are the twin thesis of the story. The film is replete with action and dramatic thrills and moves swiftly from the interior of the famous San Quentin prison through the haunts and dives of Frisco’s Chinatown. How “Boston Blackie, ’ after making a realistic escape from prison, is led to give up the life of crime that has made his name famous throughout erookdom, furnishes a succession of melodramatic thrills that vie with any ever brought to the screen.
