GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT. For several years the names of Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack on a motion picture have signified a film crammed with advenire and thrills. Their pictures, "Grass," "Chang," and "Four Feathers," are among the screen spectacles that have shattered theatre attendance records. Now the globe-trotters have p'roduced in Hollywood for RKO Radio Pictures their first studio-film, "The Most Dangerous Game," which opened last night at the Grand Theatre, and their batting average for hits remains perfect. It is appropriate that after their other films, which showed the strug- , gles of animals for life in the jungle, their new picture tells the converse story of the hunter hunted. Based on the famous short story by Richard Connell, "The Most Dangerous Game" is a weird tale of a h'alfcrazed Russian nobleman who invents a new game — the most dangerous of all. A hunting duel to the death between tlj'.s miadman and a youn'g sportsman, with 'a beautiful young girl as the .stake, forms the strange theme of this exciting film.
