<► “CAPTAIN SALVATION.” Love, hate, sacrifice aud revenge—all the emotions that life is made of—surge and seethe ,in this dynamic drama. The salty tang of the sea was in the blood of Anson Campbell. If called to him with a mighty .voice, bur it had been ordained that the pulpit was to be his place in life. Then came a night of storm and terror; of plunging seas, shipwreck and disaster —and cut of the welter of rain and wind came a woman—a human derelict,- a lost soul on whom the villagers turned, their backs, careless whether she lived or died. And with her coming, drama —stark and terrible—stalked into the life" of Anson Campbell. Drama that took him into the jaws of death, down into the depths of degradation, and despair, into the stinking hold- of a convict ship. And all that saved . him' him back was tie unwavering faith of the woman of the waterfront —a- faith • that was stronger than, life itself. Frederick William Wallace’s well-known sea story* “Captain Salvation” will be screened on Saturday at the Maoriland Theatre. “MAN CRAZY.” On Monday, Dorothy VMacltaill and Jack Mulhall the popular team of First National players, are to be seen again on the local screen in a new film. They come in a rollicking romance of staid New England., “Man Crazy.” The stoiy is the love affair of , a daughter of an aristocratic New England family*, and a truck driver who proudly pilots the fastest truck on the Boston Post road. Adapted from the. Saturday Evening Post story*, “Clarissa and the Post Road,” “Man Crazy” is au ideal vehicle for the talents of Miss Mackaill and Mr Mulhall, and their, performance in this picture, together with that of the capable cast.-which supports them, make it a splendid entertainment.
