FIERCE OCEAN STORM MINSTREL SHOW SCORES I MADE TO ORDER NOTHER BIG SUCCESS IN THE STUDIO Many directors have attempted to stage reproductions of ocean storms in the studio, but most of them have had only indifferent success, It re- mained for Irvin V." Willat to ae- complish a remarkable feat along this line. After taking pictures from the deck of a real steamship on tho Pacific in -his new production for Paramount, "On the High Seas,' featuring Dorothy Dalton and Jack Holt, which comes to the Regent next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, he had an exact reproduction of a section of the deck constructed in the studio tank at Hollywood, It was placed on rockers, aeroplane propel- lers were used to make a terrific wind, rain eame down in torrents and lightning flashed, In this episode Jack Holt and Mit- chell Lewis are giving a sea burial to several corpses which they found on the derelict, schooner, having taken refuge tidreon from a small hoat in which they and Dorothy Dal- ton, playing another featured role, have drifted for several days after the sinking of an ocean liner. AOTION IN PICTURE A liner on fire at sea and a happy though unexpected wedding, mark the beginning and end of the Para- mount picturization of "On the High Seas," which will be the attraction at the Regent theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday. But between these two stirring and epochal incid- ents there is crammed a wealth of thrill and sensation as will stamp the picture one of the most forceful and dramatic ever screened. The Whithy Minstrels are coming to the New Martin Theatre, for one night only, Friday, Dec, 16th. On their initial appearance at Whitby, the newspaper comment was as fol- lows: -- The first performance of the third season of the Whitby Amateur Ath- letic Association Minstrels, given last night in the Music Hall here, marked another successful step in the history of this fine organization, and assured the Minstrels of a continuance of the first-class reputation they have es- tablished in the past, The enthus- fasm and originality which gave to the W.A.A.A, Minstrels such conspic- uous success last season and tne year before, are again in evidence, and have enabled the boys to put on a program that egy 1ls, if not surpas- ses, any previoui JYort, The musical program in this part was excellent and included "I'll take you home, pal o"mine," by Eddie Fe- gan; "Indianna," by B8id Erskine; "Why should I cry over you," by Bert Sheppard; "Coal Black Mammy' by J. M.-8hort; "In a garden," by T. M. Gourlay; "The World is waiting for the Sunrise," by W, D. Dykes; **Geor- gette," C. Stiner; "Wake Up, Little Girl," by Harold Richardson; "Pick me Up and Lay Me Down," L. Mec- Intyre; "Call Me Back, Pal o"Mine," by R. 8, Abernethy; and the finale, "To-morrow," by the entire company. An augmented twelve-piece orches- tra, under the leadership of Matt Gouldburn, who also' directed the: singing, provided accompaniment as | well as rendering selections during the evening.

Firat, there was Houdon, the magi- cian and illusionist, who executed numerous. skillful and unusually clever slight-of-hand tricks, accom- panying them by a patter of talk and Jokes, * This performance, being en- tirely non-professional was very de- servedly applauded loud and long, A laughable skit follows and very enjoyable musical numbers were given by Miss Helen Stapleford, violinist and Mr, W, D. Dykes, tenor soloist, ; The grand finale, "A Night in Honolulu," was one of the best num- bers ever put on by the "Minstrels. 'The sketch Introduced Gallagher, Shean and Murphy (7. Gourlay, J. M. Short and Dr, Lynch), in hum- orous songs, followed by selections by the Royal Hawaiian Troupe, and an exhibition of dances by several "ladies" of Honolulu, that almost brought down the house with ap- plause, It was a well-arranged, amusing number, and pleased the crowd immensely, To Manager J, M., Short and hie efficient assistants, as well as to the chorus of forty voices, must he given generous praise for putting op a performance that will increase the fame and reputation of the Whithy Amateur Athletic Assoeiation Min- strels, AT THE REGENT On Thursday Dec. 21 the Regent Theatre will have an extra special attraction, The occasion is the com- ing out party of the "General Mo- tors Chorus," composed of about fif- ty people. The chorus is under the leadership of Mr. Courtney, and he has a splendid group of people aid- | ing him, One unique thing about it | is that every single person is a Gen- eral Motors employee. Everyone should most certainly hear them, MARTIN GETS DEAN'S 'UNDER TWO FLAGS The dynamic personality of Pris- cilla Dean has never been given such forceful expression on the screen as | in "Under Two Flags," the Univer-| sal-Jewel production of Ouida's famous novel, which comes to the | New Martin Theatre on Tuesday, | Wednesday and Thursday. The | Cigarette, idol of a | French regiment at Algiers, is the type Miss Dean portrays so well. A portion of the town of Algiers, | with a faithful reproduction of the | French barracsk there, was built at the big studis. Members of the cast (lived "in character" for several | months. Miss Dean herself became {80 accustomed to the costumes of | the play that it was difficult for her | {to readustj herself to habits of nor-| imal lite when not actually working! | before the camera, FELINE D R ALLL N ATRY Si PAGE FIVE ----eem---- TE ES E-------- Western Canada.
