CRYSTAL PALACE, MOUNT EDEN
Charles Brabin, who achieved outstanding results with the screen transition of Thornton Wilder’s somewhat difficult novel, “The Bridge of San Luis Key,” has done it again, this time with tho entirely different work of “The Ship From Shanghai,” which is now at the Crystal Palace Theatre. Conrad Nagel and Louis Wolheim are the stars.
Although th© two productions are physically in dir© contrast, “The Bridge” having had for locality the Old World atmosphere of Peru, while almost the entire action of “The Ship From Shanghai” takes place aboard a small flailing schooner on the Pacific Ocean, yet there is a marked similarity in the psychological content of the two stories in the respect that in each case Brabin has created a photographic X-ray of the minds of a small group of persons. A second attraction Is being shown on the same programme in “The Melody Mas," starring William Col Iyer and John £t. Polls. The story of the film shows the conflict between the classics and jazz.
