TRIP ACROSS ATLANTIC

INTERESTING JOURNEY FOR MOVIE PATRONS ‘Transatlantic,’ coming to the St. James Theatre on Friday, is said to be one of tho most sterling and thrilling dramatic pictures seen for some months. So real is every detail comprised in this voyage across the Atlantic that the members of the audience are unconsciously persuaded that they are passengers on the great liner in which the episodical story is enacted. Monty Greer (Edmund Lowe) wanted to give evidence in an inquiry, slips on board the liner at New York without the formality of registering in his own name. As an ingratiating descendant of Raffles ho discovers that Henry Graham (John Halliday) and his wife (M.-na Loy) are at odds because “ the former, a wealthy banker, has been attracted by Sigrid Carliue (Greta Nissen), a professional dancer. Matters are made interesting when the radio news arrives that Graham’s bank has failed. Greer butts in, by placing himself in a compromising position with the dancer, curing the banker of his infatuation. From this point the story develops powerfully. ... It would be a shame to disclose subsequent events, but it is sufficient to say that there are thrills and tense moments aplenty, not forgetting a measure of gunplay.
