GRAND THEATRE

TO-NIGHT. One of the most interesting pictures of the season opens at the Grand Theatre to-night. If is "Transatlantic," a Fox production, which has a long list of screen favourites, headed by Edmund Lowe, in its cast. "Transatlantic," briefly, has to do with the tangled lives of a dozen or so men and woman who set out from an American port for Europe aboard a de luxe liner. Unknown to each •other before the vessiel slips itsi moorings, they speedily become involved in la tangle wbich takes the entire voyage acroS'S: the Atlantic to unravel Aboard is Edmund Lowe, a higbclass igambler of the Robin Hood type. ■We also find Lois Moran, daughter of an old German lens grinder, played by Jean Hersholt. Then, too, there is John Halliday, a wealthy banker; his wife — Myrna Loy; a Swedish dancer — Greta Nissen, and other fascdnating figureis. Miss Moran is sweet and lovely as the young German- American girl, concerned over the fate of her father, who almost loses his mind at the news of the bank disaster. Hersholt, of course, igives an excellent account of himself. "Transatlantic" is a picture you will not want to miss.
