SPARKLING DRAMA AT GRAND THEATRE.
“ THE WHITE DESERT ” AND “ RACING LUCK.” There are many thrilling moments in “ The White Desert,” the Metro Goldwyn picture which is showing at the Grand Theatre. The production is on a grand scale and its spectacular nature makes an irresistible appeal. This story of railroad pioneers recounts the struggles of man against nature in
I the effort to extend tjie iron road, and l presents many opportunities of which the producer has taken full advantage. “Racing Luck,” the second feature, is brimful of action. It tells of the adventures of a young Italian who emigrates to America. His efforts to make good are frustrated at every turn by 'an unscrupulous enemy. The medium through which he ultimately triumphs gives the picture its title. He is commissioned to drive a car in a race, and has beginner’s luck. The scenes depicting the progress of the race provide plenty of thrills and not a little humour. The leading part is taken by Monty Banks. There is a good supporting programme, including a breezy comedy entitled “The Cobbler's Kids." and a Gazette. The Grand Orchestra contributes an appropriate musical programme.
