"ADVENTURE" BY JACK LONDON. "Adventure," one of the last stories from the pen of the late,Jack London, has been transferred, to the screen by Paramount, under the pergonal super-, vision of Victor Fleming. If Jack London were alive, to-day.;■ he would, probably be one of the most soughtafteir writers of screen material. He knew how to build iup strong," drama. tic plots that vibrated with action and ' Kfe-like characters. "Adventure" is a stoiry of the pres-ent-day life in the savage Solomon Islands of the South Seas. London wrote of that uncivilised corner of the earth from personal, intimate knowledge. He lived in the South Seas for .a number of years. The plot centres around the dynamic adven-. tares of a copra plantation owner and his 'business partner: a fearless woman soldier' of for tune. A stirring encounter with headhunting , cannibals, a. thrilling under-sea fight, a fierce primitive duel and an exciting ship battle are among the outstanding' features in this screen play. It will be screened at the Maoriland Theatre on Saturday. •. "THE STORM BREAKER." In "The Storm Breaker," Universal- ■ Jewel production to, be screened at the Maoriland Theatre on Monday,' House Peters is to be seen in one of the most , forceful and powerful character that this great portrayer of the dominating man has yet done. "The Storm Breaker"* is from Charles Guernon's gripping story, "Titans." Peters impersonates /the character of John Strong. Strong is 'one of those types of men who seems to have taken unto himself the very surroundings in which he was reared. The might of the sea and its impressive force, the rugged rocks that lay off his island home,' are reproduced in a certain sense in the man himself. The courage of his long line of seafaring ancestors "has been handed dowiß to him in abundance. With it all he is as simple as were his forebears and the fisher folk Of whom he is one.
