“THE BLOOD SHIP”
COMING TO AUCKLAND “The Blood Ship” has been booked into the Roxy Theatre by the master Showman. S. L. Rothafel himself. Word has been coming from Hollywood that Columbia had made a wonderful sea picture. The adjectives used in connection with the telling include “great,” “marvellous,” “a knock-out,” “a world beater,” etc. That “The Blood Ship” is everything that has been claimed for it is now borne out by Rothafel’s action in signing it for his “Cathedral of the Motion Picture.” “It is one of the finest sea pictures I have had the pleasure of viewing,” remarked Mr. Rothafel, after he had screened it. ‘‘lt ranks with the very best product of any of the leading companies, and is vastly superior to a lot of productions 1 am called upon to look at in my desire to give the public the best attractions obtainable. In fact, I am shelving a picture I have already bought to play “The Blood Ship,” because my policy is always to give the public the best entertainment, no matter what the cost. Columbia is certainly to be congratulated for possessing the acumen, ability and the organisation to produce pictures so high in entertainment qualities and showmanship standards.”
