UNPRECEDENTED THRILLS
“THE TRAIL OF ’9B“ Three unprecedented thrills are in store for movie-lovers when they see “The Trail of ’98,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s epic successor to “Ben-Hur,” at the New Regent Theatre next week. The first of these thrills is the mighty snow avalanche scene, in which hundreds of stampeding goldseekers are buried in a few seconds. The second is the treacherous White Horse Rapids scene, where the canoes of the prospectors are smashed to matchwood in a boiling cauldron of furious waters; and the third is at the end of the story, when the hero hurls a kerosene lamp at the villain, who becomes a flaming human torch. Running here and there in the madness of his agony, he sets fir© to the famous Monte Carlo saloon, and then to Dawson City in its entirety.
Ralph Forbes and Dolores Del Rio have the principal roles in the huge cast of this stupendous screen version of the great Klondike gold rush. The film will be shown in Auckland under the personal supervision of Mr. .T. F. Ansel!, of Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer Films.
