"ISLE OF LOST SHIPS ” AT MAJESTIC THEATRE
Amongst many original features of “The Isle 6f Lost Ships,” the all-talk-ing picture that heads the bill at the Majestic Theatre this week, is the fact that the story is set in the waste of seaweed and wreckage known as the Sargasso Sea. The Sargasso Sea exists in the middle of the Atlantic Oqean by reason of a gigantic eddy, and for the purpose of the story it is that the centre of the sea consists of an “isle of lost ships” that have drifted there throughout the centuries. The story is as original as its setting, and is interpreted by a strong cast headed bv Virginia Valli, Noah Beery, Jason R.obards and Robert O’Conpor. The scenery is remarkably good, especially the wreck of the steamer Queen and the derelict vessels making up the isle. The supporting pictui’es include a laughable comedy about a “quack” doctor’s antics, and there is also an interesting sound news picture. Pictures of the December hurricane along the English coast are of special interest. There is also a song narrative, "The Hut,” sung by Nova Tarasova.
