Critics have! unanimously Reclaimed this pic ture as the greatest sea story ever screened, The p'lctui i.atlon by Graham Baker has retained loyally the atmosphere of the novel by America's master teller of sea stories und Vltugraph, who offers it, has provided a lavish produc tion, witli an all star cast. "Masters of Men" tells the story of an American boy who accepted the shame of another's crime that he might protect the girl he loved from humiliation. Branded in his home town ua a thief the lud runs awtly und joiny the IMiited Suites Nuvy. While on leave he is nhang hutetr and tiftrs;-the, brutality ac corded to men before the mast on board a four' master sailing the Spanish .Main, itow he effects hlo escape and aids In the destruction or the Spanish fleet at Santiago provides u thrilling drama which , holds interest t hroughoitt every j foot of the screening. ! There urn four principal purls, as the story Involves the love affairs of four young people. Marie Will lams, one of Ihe most popular stars or the screen, plays Lieutenant lireen, the officer who assists Ukk Hulpin (played by Cullen Saudis) lo win back honor und manhood. I'relty Alice Calhoun who has been starred In many Vitagraph produc tions und Wanda, llawley. long a popular slur, play the chief wom en's roles. . It Is a picture of types and of vivid realism. The ylection of types is said to huve been perfeel. particularly of those iietors who play the brutal, hard fighting men who comprise the crew of the "Alary Karl." Dick Sutherland und Jack Curtis, who play the mate und captain of the four mas ter, are known to fans us the most brutal looking uctors in . motion pictures. They give realism to Morgan Robertson's description of the brutes who made life u hell fur men before the mast. ' Comedy showing "Full of IVp."
