ALFREDTON TALKIES
GEORGE O’BRIEN TOMORROW. Picture patrons will delight in this ride with George O'Brien on the waves of exciting action, glorious adventure and thrilling romance. He's the husky star in a hard-hitting role as a young attorney serving a subpoena that secs him diving from a plane to the side of a wealthy sportsman’s yacht to be rescued and serve his papers. Then he is an uninvited passenger carried toward Honolulu in the trans-Pacific race in which the speed ship is participating. Storms follow, part of the crewabandon ship, the yacht collides with a schooner and O'Brien, two men and a women are shanghaied by the lawless crew of the hell-ship who soon plan to hold them for delivery to Oriental brigands and ransom. After a terrific-hand-to-hand fight in the hold with the cut-throat captain. O’Brien manages to save the party and its members put out on dangerous seas in a lifeboat. The four-master is set afire by overturned lanterns and luckily provides a flare that leads to their rescue by a United States cruiser. "Windjammer.'' is, indeed, a salty, lusty and new kind of story for the favourite outdoor star who deserts the saddle for the sea.
