Picture Show News For The Current Week 2--; Head W inds,’!. the Universal fea ture co-starring House Peters with Patsey Ruth Miller, is a thrilling story of the sea, its people and' its romance. The keynote of “Head Winds” is' novelty, for it deals with an unusual situation in an unusual way. In the story House Peters is cast in the role of a millionaire sportsman who in order to win the love and respect of the girl he loves finds it necessary to kidnap her and spirit her away to sea. . ' Patsy Ruth Miller, who plays the lending feminine role opposite Peters, plays the part of Patricia Van Pelt, the headstrong, impetuous shrew, with whom Peters is in love. Miss Miller, who will be remembered for her woik in ‘‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” where she played Es meralda opposite Lon Chancy, does some of the best work in her career in “Head Winds.” “As Man Desires,” First National’^ stirring romance of the South Sea Islands was adapted from Gene Wright’s novel, "Pandora La Croix.” Milton Sills, of “Sea Hawk” fame, appears in the^role of a woman-hat ing captain of a pearl fishing schoon er, with Viola Dana acting the part of a dusky dancing maiden of Tahita. Irving Cummings directed the picture under the supervision of Earl Hud son, First National’s supervisor of productions. Ruth Cilfford, Rose mary Theby, Tom Kennedy, Anna May Walthall, Hector Sarno and others are in the cast. Motion pictures for the most part are’ made for entertainment purposes. Once in a while a picture is made for scientific reasons but rarely is a feature made which combines both entertainment and scientific educa tion. An exception to the rule is “The Lost World,” First National produc- tion in which love, romance, adven- ture as well as education are em- bodied in the amazing film. Profes- sors of Columbia and the University of California who saw the picture in the making declare that the greatest thing that has ever occurred to bring about a popular interest in archae- ology was the production of this re markable film. The cast of “The Lost World” is in keeping with the magnitude of the production, including such film luminaries as Bessie Love, Lloyd Hughes, Lewij Stone, Wallace Beery, Alma Bennett, Virginia Brown Faire, Arthur Hoyt, Bull Montana, Mar garet McWade, Finch Smiles and Jules Cowles.
