RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM
“PRISONERS OF. THE STORM” “Prisoners of the Storm” a Univer-sal-Jewel production, which will be shown at the Rialto ’ and Regent
Theatres this evening, is a picture which will bring joy to the ■ hearts of those I who like to witI ness primitive [ drama in the out-of-doors. The story was written by the late James Oliver Curwood, whose
tales of the north have made him one of the most popular writers of fiction. House Peters, who has al\vays been identified with pictures of this type, has an unusually colourful and romantic role as the star of “Prisoners of the Sto.rm,” and he makes the most of every opportunity. The supporting cast includes Peggy Montgomery, Walter McGrail, Harry Todd, Clark Comstock, Fred De Silver, Lillian Nicholson and others, and although the cast is smaller than usual for a feature production, each player has been carefully selected, and each characterisation stands out boldly from the others. A great deal of the credit for the remarkable production must be given to Lynn Reynolds, who is responsible for the intense drama of the picture, and for the multitude of thrills and big scenes.
