BRITANNIA
“LOST AT SEA” A picture of real entertainment quality, the Master Picture release, “Lost at Sea,” is being screened at the Britannia Theatre. In the cast are such wellknown players as Huntly Gordon, Jane Novak, Lowell Sherman, Natalie Kingston, Billy Kent Schaefer, Joan Standing and William R. Walling. The story tells of a young woman who is married to a man who is feared by both his wife and little son. He enjoys himself dallying about the cabarets, where he has an affair with one of the principal dancers. Unknown to his wife, he goes on a business trip to Europe, taking the dancer with him. The boat they are on is blown up and they are ostensibly lost. A former girlhood sweetheart, hearing of the disaster, comes back, pays ardent court to ■he supposed widow and marries her. That same day the couple receive a message that her husband has been saved and is on his way home. The ienouemen of this rather novel situation is swift and dramatic. The story as unfolded by the director, Louis J. Gasnier, holds one’s interest throughout. There was not a dull moment, and the picture was elaborately staged and artistically photographed.
