Hailed as the outstanding movie of the year, “The Viking” is one of the most beautiful pictures ever made. It is presented in natural colors, with a cast of all star proportions headed by the eminent actor, Donald Crisp, in the title role of Lief. Pauline Starke, appearing for the first time as a blonde, plays the loading feminine role of Helga, a Viking maid, and a more beautiful Norse maiden would be difficult to imagine. This excellent little actress gives one of the greatest performances of her career, revealing a screen personality of amazing brilliance, enhanced by the natural color effects produced by Technicolor. Also showing in conjunction with “The Viking” is a detective drama above the ordinary entitled “Wolves of the Underworld.” There are only a few avlio fail to appreciate a good detective yarn; the appeal, therefore, of “Wolves of the Underworld,” must be universal. A young criminologist sets out. to round up and capture a gang of conuterteiters. ’I he method he pursues is extremely novel, and one that certainly holds the spectator •spellbound. There are many thrills and at one point the action becomes So tense that it is only with difficulty that one can control oneself. The east includes many well-known players, including Imogene Robertson, reported to be one of the most beautiful girls ever seen on the screen. •
