"MUTINY ON BOUNTY."

ROMANCE 01] HISTORIC VOYAGE RECAPTURED. "Mutiny on the Bounty" Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's gre«it sea picture that opens at the De Luxe Theatre, carries one away with the sheer intensity of its drama. Although a historical romance, wrung from the actual records of the British Admiralty, it is far more absorb ing* than pure fiction. It is a superb achievement in motion pictures, a historical picture as it should be ana one that will live for years to conic as one oil exciting' sea tales' ever screened. , | . , ; The picture is the true story of the voyago of H.M.S. Bounty 150 years ago 'on a scientific expedition to the South Seas. It tells of the tyranny c*f a bru'tal captain who drove his crew to mutiny, of the life and loves of the sailors 'in a tropical paradise, and the dogged' ■pursuit of Capt. Blight, for the men who j had fc dhim to the wrath of the sea by casting him adrift in an open boat, "Mutiny on the Bounty" lives up to all the advance praise that has 'ha dfed him to the wrath of .the sea by world. Its scenic beauty, scihetiines stark and' cruel, is unsurpassed. Its cast, headed by Charles Laughton, Clark 'Gable and Franchot Tone, is incomparj able. : ~; In his photography, by far the most suponb sea photography to reach the 'souted the picture's merits around the 'scene the breath of salt air. The storm and wreck scenes arc the most realistic ever photographed. Although two years in preparation and one year'in the filming, "Mutiny on the Bounty" lives up to every expectation that has been created by it.
