GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT According to the official reeords, of the 200 German submarines captured or sunk during the World War, 11 were destroyed by "mystery ships" or "Q-ships," as they were sometimes called, and 17 by Allied submarines. The joint action of an American submarine and an American "mystery ship" in trapping one of the most famous German U-boats, is the basis on which Director John Ford has created the climax of his unusual 'romance of the Allied struggle against the submarine mertace, "The Seas Beneath," Fox movietone, showing at the Grand Theatre to-night. With George O'Brien as the American commander, Marion Lessing as the sister of the U-boat's captain and John Loder as the German ship's first officer, a strange triangle of love and patriotism has been deftly woven into the story. Aboard a big three-masted schooner, the "Dolphin," land two United States under-water craft, the "S-47" and the huge, fleet submarine, "V-4," the company spent four weeks at sea filming and recording the nautical sequences of the picture and according to advance reports, have turned out a remarkable produc--tion. Warren Hymer, William Collier, sen., and Walter C. Kelly, are prominent in the cast.
