Movie Closeups Arnold Bennett and Edward Knohloy-k are .the authors of "Mile stones," which la showing at the Anllera theatre for the lust time to night. Arnold lU nnett is one of the lead ing figures in Knglitsh Literature to day. His work combines depth or thought with the most delightful of I entertainment. Ilia books are read j "ears Kdward Knobloak ' has main- j : . . . . . k. tallica a reputation in me inrni rann of American playwrights with many ! pronounced stage successes to hU credit. Neither of these two brilliant authors whose names alone act as a powerful magnet on the public have ever done anything to surpass their late.U success. "Milestones." : 'rule' is bajish.ed. m it te World is q ow o T W Aa In everything involving the production of thia exceptional pic- ture, th cast, was selected with the greatest care. This task, because of th wida range of yeurt covered by ihe picture, was necessarily a most difficult one. Hut the result leaves nothlng to be desired. The difficult part of John Khead, is taken by Mr. Lewlq Stone. Alice Hollinter as the Hlster of Gt rtrudo Khead la given ample scope for her skill and beauty as are Mary Allen, Gertrude Allison and Corrlne Klrkman in equally at- tractive parts. Other leading charac- ters are admirably taken by Harvey . Clark. Gerald 1'ring, Boyd Irwin May Foster. Lionel Belmore, Carrol Fleming and Jack Donovan. For a second time Jack London's yarn of seal fishers, "the Sea Wolf" has been filmed and In the present incarnation may be seen at the Ma-! jostle theatre tonight for the last l time. Here and there It sticks none i loo close to his pages, but it re-) mains an exceptionally good picture which Noah Beery, Walter Long and Raymond Hatton cover themael ves with blood and glory. Brutal 'Sea Wolf was In print, and brutal It Is George M.ifori. who Erected tL.t .... - reinurKaDie piece or won, ana ms adaptator, has been unusually re- spective to London's plot and his personages. Occasionally he modifies and moderates them, but not the plot. For instance, in the book, Hum phrey VanWeydcn. the critic, was swept out ttr ea from the wreck of seems brighter istmas th ferryboat In the harbor of Saa Francisco, but the film demands that both the hero and heroine be swept through the Golden gate, and plcke.1 up by Wolf's schooner, "(.host." Of course the talo loses In directness, for It cannot be told in the ?lrat per- son on the screen, and losea in strength because some of the brutal- .ilea are omitted. Yet many of them remain, and the fight of ''Wolf" Laraen In the foc'slo, it done in a graphic fashon, whle true to t.omlou, Oofty - Ofty, the Kanara and Kelley engage afterwards la their metuor- able alteration.
