The generations oC people both young and old who have been thrilled by “Treasure Island,” Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous story of pirate adventure, will find the vivid storybookexperiences of their youth created on the screen in the picture that opens to-night at the Civic Theatre, with Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper in co-starring roles. Full power of the most widely-read fiction book about pirates ever written has been retained in the adaptation by John Lee Mahin. Scenes have been' reproduced exactly as described in the book with much of of Stevenson’s own dialogue between ♦■he characters followed to the word. With Beery as Long .Tohn Silver and Jackie Cooper as Jim Hawkins, boy adventurer, a east has been assembled to bring each rover of the Spainish Main to the screen with living reality. Lionel Barrymore’s blustering Billy Jones is one of the most entertaining characters ho has ever played; Otto Kruger is forceful as Dr. Livesky; Lewis Stone \ personal knowledge of sailing ships gives convincing background to his role of Captain Smollett; Nigel Bruce is a ruddy ami typically English Squire Trelawney; touches- of quaint humor are put into the characterisation of Ben Gunn, marooned pirate, by Chic
