I “THE LAST CHANCE” AT p THE REX TODAY ONLY Franklyn Farnum, th¢ doughty young movie actor, who seems to be all, man, and not a perfumed lily, like many of our film celebrities, ‘is to appear. at the Rex theater, in his Jatest scrcen offering, . *The Last Chance.” 4 3 This picture is a far more strenu ous piece of screen 'work than any plcture in which the hardy thespian ‘has appeared in up to date. The person who wrote the scenario seems to hold the opinjon that young Far- num is a superhuman, for in the picture the star s constantly rigk- ing his precious neck in putting over some stunt' with which to raise the hair of the audience. A “The Last Chance will be shown today only. “UNCHARTED SEAS” AT THE REX THEATER SUNDAY Seven Alaskan canine huskies, vet- erans of polar expeditions and numer- ous winters in the land of the mid- night sun, were introduced into Hol- lywood’s film colony as players in Metro’s special production of *“Un- charted Seas,” which will be on the screen of the Rex theater Sunday. Aljce, Lake, who is playing the stellar role in the production, made friends, with the supposedly vicious malemutes, and learned to drive them in spite of their aversion to feminine authority. J. H. Scott, himself a well known student of Alaskan woodcraft, took| the dogs from their frozen home.in the North and acted as their guar- dian during the six months’ trip to Southern California. One of the ani- mals was with Steffanson on his Arctic expeditions. Under the guiding hand of the patient Miss Lake, the animals be- came acclimated and promised to become the least temperamental of of actors. “Uncharted Seas” is a Munsey mapgazine story from the pen of John Fleming Wilson. For her supporting cast, Miss Lake has such notable persons as Carl Ger- ard, Rudolph Valentino, who played in “The Four Horsemen of the Apoca- lypse’’; Fred Turner, Charles Mailes and Rhea Haines. Wesley Ruggles directed. Photography is by John B. Seitz and art direction by John Hol- den. The scenario was written by George Elwood Jenks. As enthralling a picture as has been seen in a long time is ‘‘Unchart- ed Seas,” the Metro special which comes to the Rex theater on Sunday for a Tun of three days. ‘Alice Lake, known wherever pic-| tures are enjoyed, has ithe leadinyg role, and gives a dramatic interpre- tation unexceNed for beauty and force, according to reports from critics who have seen this picture elsewhere! It is “enthralling” because of its| unusual plot and the method «f working ouy the situations is con- summated. Brietly, the story deals with ‘Lucretia Eastman, whose hus band 1s a moral derelict, addicted to oplum and loose women. Lucretia's cup’ of disgust brims over at last, but Tom's father entreats her togive him one last chance. The test is find ing of a deserted steamer, loaded with ten millions of Klondyke gold. Tom is given a seaworthy craft, and a rotting vessel, manned with des perados, is folsted on Frank Under- wood, who loves Lucretin and Is loved by her. The cowardice of one, and the courage of the other, as mey Ro through Behring straits leads to! the heart-clutching climax. The splendid direction is due to Wesley Ruggles. The supporting cast including Rudolph Valentino, who acted in “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”; Carl Gerard, Fred Tur- ner, Charles Mailes and Rhea Haines, | ‘George BElwood Jenks adapted; the| story, John B. Seitz photographed, and John Holden designed and exe- cuted the art interiors. | The pleture was mlnplNl from John Fleming Wilsan's' story which (] appeared in Munsey's Magazine. | “ROBINSON CRUSOE.
