Eleventh Talkie By Gaynor and Farrell

"less of tho Storm Country,” which comes to tho Regent on March 25, establishes a record in film circles. It marks tho eleventh talking feature to co-star Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell—an achievement in itself, since no other romantic team has even approach l cd this figure. Departing widely from their customary typo of vehicle, Janet and Charles prove to bo moro romantic than ever in "Toss of tho Storm Country.” In the colourful role of a sea-cap-tain’s daughter who comes to live ashore for the first time in her life, and who finds both her bravery and her tompestuous disposition severely tried by the various obstacles she meets, Miss Gaynor gives one of the best performances in her entire career. Farrell, as the millionaire’s son who is disowned by his irascible father because of his interest in the heroine, likewise achieves a flawless portrayal. Alfred Santell’s fine direction and the brilliant work of a supporting cast headed by Dudley Diggcs, Claude Gillingwater, Juno Clyde and Edward Pawley, add to the realism and entertainment qualities of this Fox Film production. Most of the action takes place aboard a big schooner and around a rocky cove on tho New England coast, providing a thoroughly marine atmosphere to the picture, and one very fitting to its swift action and many dramatic moments.
