CRYSTAL PALACE, MOUNT EDEN
“The Shi]) From Shanghai,” at the Crystal Palace Theatre, the first picture to be filmed almost in its entirety on the high seas with complete talking equipment, is made eyen more realistic by the sound of the waves beating against the sides of the ship and washing over the decks, the breaking away of masts and sails and the frenzied shouting of the crew. Louis Wolheim is well cast as the loathsome steward, this„ actor apparently getting his greatest enjoyment out of making himself as unattractive as possible. In this instance he assumes a characterisation which one would shudder to meet in a dark alley at night. Conrad Nagel and Kay Johnson have the romantic leads and Holmes Herbert and Carmel Myers are effective as the millionaire owner of the yacht and his weak-willed wife. “The Melody Man,” a drama of musical life, is the second feature.
