MAORILAND THEATRE.

"THE SEA BEAST " AND AMERICA'S FOREMOST \ ACTOR. ' Qn Friday Warner Bros. present John Bawymore. in "The Sea Beast," from Herman Melville's famous novel "Moby Dick." His interpretation of Captain Ahab in "The Sea Beast" lifts John Barrymore above every previous effort on the screen. In this role are those contrasting values which make for truly great acting. The shy, tender love of youth fires to passion beneath the soft moonlight of tropic nights; a gay heart with every promise of fulfilled happiness sails away; a sturdy man gives battle to the monster of the deep and is torn and crippled for life. • Fear of pity ages this youth and Avhen Fate mocks him into' the belief that the girl he loves has been won by another, hate scorches his soul and desire for vengeance writes its hideous lines upon the face once light* td by love. Transition upon transition: youth and loy-i and honest ambition; ihe terror of a soul struggling, against the madness of revenge unsatisfied; and the escape of Ahab from his self made horror. Never was there such a role and never such an actor to play it!
