THRILIING SEA DRAMA AT ALLEN"S THURSDAY "Masters of Men," by Morgan No Advance in Prices qk IFF er ------------ Robertson, the world's most noted writer of sea stories, is to be shown in the Allen Theatre starting Thurs- | day. Critics have unanimously ac- ciaimed this picture as the greatest séa story ever screemed. The pic- turization by C. Graham Baker has retained loyally the atmospher: of the novel by America's master teller of sea stories and Vitagraph, who offers it, has provided a favish production, with an all star cast. "Masters-qf Men" télls the story of @ boy who accepted the shame of another's crime that he might pro- tect the girl he loved from humili- ation. Branded in his home town as a thief the lad runs away and joins the Navy. " Whilé on leave He ie shanghaled and suffers the brutal- ity accorded to men before the mast on board a four master sailing the Spanish Main. How he effects his "iad | escape and aids in the destruction of the Spanish fleet at Santiago pro- vides a thrilling drama which holds interest throughout every foot of the screening. Theré are four principal parts, as the story Involves the love affairs of four young people. Earle Williams, one of the most popular stars of the Screen, plays Lieutenant Breen, the officer who assists Dick Halpin | (played by Cullen Landis) to win back homor and manhood. Pretty Alice Calhoun who has been starrsd in many Vitagraph productions and Wanda Hawley, long a popular star, Play the chief women's roles. It is a picture of types and of vivid jIealism, The selection ot types is said to have been perfect, particular- iy of those actors who play the brut. | al, hard-fighting men who comprise the Crew of the "Mary Earle."

Laddie Cliff, | prior to the great war, was a great {a favorite in America as he was in | England, but up until a few mgnths ago had never apeared on e | screen. Laddie was very particular { about the story for his screen debut, {and after several months of search | decided to produce "The Card," which was written by Arnold Ben- nett, the author of several celebrat- ed plays, including "The Great Ad- venture," and '"Milestones." "The Card" is one of the most popular of Mr. Bennet's stories, and has been published In twenty-three editions. "The Card" is a diverting tale of a pushful young man, who manages by | sheer cheek of a humourous kind to | become one of the gelebrities of his home town. He is resourceful and he makes the most of the ideas that suddenly flash into his mind, and with his easy assurance, he carries everything before him in a humorous | manner. The types, characters and { locations all have the Old Country | atmosphere, and the story breathes | the spirit of London and the British Isles.
