PRINCESS
“CONVOY” One of the methods of communication established by the German Secret Service in America during the "World War is revealed for the first time in “Convoy,” Robert Kane’s epic of the navy, which is now being shown at the Princess Theatre. The picture tells of the sacrifices made by a girl, who, at the instance of the United States Secret Service, becomes the companion of a man about town, somewhat in all repute as an idler, and in reality the chief of the German espionage in America. As a parallel, the experiences of her brother and fiancee in the navy are shown with dramatic colour. By playing on his infatuation for her, the girl manages to secure evidence enough for the arrest of the German, and at the same time outwits his attempt to inform the German Fleet of the sailing of the first big convoy of troops.
The sailing of the convoy, and the naval engagements of the combined American and British Fleets comprises two of the absorbing highlights of the great film. Dorothy Mackaill, Lowell Sherman, Lawrence Gray, Buster Collier, lan Keith and Jack Ackroyd head the impressive cast.
Joe Boyle directed with Ernest Haller in charge of the camera crew.
