“THE SEA BEAST”
EMPRESS THEATRE ON FRIDAY. John Barrymore, the screen's greatest actor, will he seen in "The Sea Beast' 1 at the Empress Theatre, commencing on Friday. The whaling days are gone. No longer, do four-masters sail forth from New Bedford to scour uncharted seas for the leviathnn of the deep. The breed of salt water men who feared neither the gales which swept the sky nor the monsters beneath the sea, has passed. "The Sea Beast" preserves for future generations the romance of those days of 1840. In this hour you live the. lives of those sturdy adventurers, you suffer their wounds, ache in your heart for their lost loves and glory with them in their triumphant battle with the sperm whale. There is no group of men, no business so enthralling ana no period whose annals are so inspiring as those of the days when men hunted the mammoths of the sea. The whaling days are, deserving of this memorable poem—" The Sea Beast"—an epic in the twentieth century's greatest medium —the motion picture.
