THRILLS FOR EVERYONE
cohrad veidt .in 'F.p.r for green ISLAND CINEMA Few pictures contain so many thrills produced so cleverly as in ‘ F.P.l,’ which comes to the Green Island Cinema to-morrow. One sees a young inventor striving to bring his inventions to light; one sees him succeed by the ingenious plot of a friend; one sees his creation rise into being in a shipyard to the beat of hundreds of hammers and the wise-cracking of the workmen. One sees his hopes achieved, a huge floating platform constructed and floated in mid-Atlantic. One is shown an organisation, sinister in its dealings with an object to wreck the floating island. One is shown the platform slowly sinking, its occupants gassed, its ballast tanks quickly filling. One sees an aeroplane alight; one secs the men revived, only to find their hope of salvation gone; the engines required to pump the water from the tanks arc without oil; the aeroplanes are wrecked. Such a melodramatic theme cannot fail to interest all who see it, especially with such a fine actor as Conrad Veidt in the lead.
