GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT. A romance of the logging camps, the first sinee sound.was combined with motion pietures, "Carnival Boat," which opens to-night at the Grand •Theatre, proves to be exciting. Romance and comedy are set against some of the most thrilling and beautiful mountain woods scen'es the screen has ever shown. In the atmosphere of the logging camp and a river carnival show-boat the love story of a young lumberman and a red-haired singer is told. Bill Boyd is seen as the young lumberman and Ginger Rogers plays "Honey." Fast-moving action centres around the efforts of Boyd to deliver th'e ldgs to the mill before the rain starts. Dramatic highlights are found when Bill rides across a logging high-line to reach. a runaway locomotive on which his father is struggling to make defective brakes hold. Th'e fight between Fred Kohler, as the menacing "Hack," and Boyd is so realistic that you forget they are in front of a camera and Boyd's race across a logjam with dynamite to break it brings the thrilling action to a breath-tak-ing climax.
