“CAPTAIN SALVATION” There is an ancient calling long since thought dead, that lias been revived by the motion picture industry. Square-rigger men—the sailors who could handle the now almost obsolete type of square-rigged sailing vessel — are in big demand in Hollywood right now. Just how ancient is this oldest of professions may be realised somewhat when it is known that there are only some half-dozen square-rigged sailing vessels on the whole Pacific ; Coast. And these old boats, until re- : vived for motion picture purposes, have been lying -idle for years. Then came an era of sea pictures, which of course included the necessary use of tlie most picturesque of all seai going qraft—the square-rigger. This ■is the type of vessel used in Cosmoj politan’s “Captain Salvation,” which ’ John S. Robertson directed at the ; Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, and which will be shown for two more days jat the Grand theatre.
