'SECOND TO NONE'
A STORY OF NAVAL LIFE. Again the British Navy has assisted the motion picture, with the result that ‘ Second to None,’ the Paramount British release, is one of the finest pictures that have been made. It is a rousing tale of the Navy, a picture tingling with the thrills that are part of the life of a sailor. At first we see the young man joining up in the naval training school, taken at the establishment at Shotley. Then follows scenes in the barracks at Portsmouth, the dockyard, and finally scenes aboard some of the British cruisers and destroyers. One can hardly say, therefore, that the atmosphere of this thrilling, rousing tale of the men who go down to the sen in ships is not authentic. In this story of a girl's influence over a man and of his determination to make good were used H.M. ships Tiger, Tara, Champion, and Tarpon. It is one of the most stirring dramas of the Navy that have reached the screen, and well interpreted by a cast headed by Moore Marriott. “ ‘ Second to None ’ opens at the Empire Theatre on Friday.
