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.
