GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT "The Flood," Columbia's latest screen pffering, which opened at the Grand Theatre last night, is a spectaculqr drama pf broad, tremendous sweep. It has a cleyer blending of great human interest appeal and viyid action. In it one sees the mighty waters, of the Missisgippi ufiloashed in angry turbulence. Its locale is Riverside, a sleepy old town by a sluggish rjy^g/ Nypocrisy, en'yy, jeplpusyy and greed, po^pnpqs ^hmdn" emotions, smoulder and flame; and the great rivei;, flkp the humans pn its banks, becomes' turbulent. Its swollen' waters rise and crash through man:made barricades'r Thb flood 'fluenches' the flame of s'candal, and in a highly draxnatic, surprising denounement, a smabi town girl finds love and happiness. '"fjQvely Eleai^or Bpa^dman playsthe part' of " Jo'an Marshall, the heroine, with a finished artistry tHat' proves her' acting ability. ' Monte Blue, already f amed for 'his able characterisations, ' surpasses himself in this pictpre. David Newell' is a convincing viflain.
