GRAND
“HIS NATURAL LIFE” The famous Australian photoplay, “For the Term of His Natural Life,” which has had a succesful two weeks’ run at the Strand Theatre, will be transferred to the Grand Theatre tomorrow.
It is quite posible for two different people to form two widely varying opinions of Dunstan Webb, who plays the role of Captain Frere in “For the Term of His Natural Life.” To some he presents a front of concentrated seriousness, implying that his work is his first thought. He will discuss at great length the angles of picturemaking, explaining intricate details and the essential thoroughness of general technique. But, on the other hand, one could form the impression that he couldn’t be serious, no matter how much he wanted. “Joe” is like that. He is two very nice people in one, his tall handsomeness assisting him to get away very nicely with anything. Joe Webb gives a splendid characterisation of Captain Frere, whose harsh disciplinary measures bring fear to the heart of the hardened convicts.
