FINE FILMS AT ROYAL
Dorothy Mackaill and Milton Sills play the leading roles in “His Captive Woman,” now at the Royal Theatre, Kingsland. The island backgrounds, photographed in Hawaii, are especially attractive and those in the courtroom are graphic and affecting.
Donn Byrne wrote the original story called “Changeling” from which the film version was skilfully adapted. As a study in modern degeneration followed by regeneration, with the simple code of honour actuating an unimaginative and hard-boiled New York cop and the reformation in the
character of a typical gold-digger who has lost all illusions concerning men and life in general, it has few peers. “The Girl on the Barge,” which is also being shown, is a romantic tale of life on canal barges, starring Sally O’Neill and Malcolm McGregor as the young lovers, and Jean Hersholt as the father.
