NEW NATIONAL—“0ld Ironsides.” “Old Ironsides,” the inspiring film production of gloripus pages of Ameri- can naval history, opened its second and final week’s showing at the Na- tional Theater vesterday. It is the story of the gallant old frigate Con- stitution, now to be preserved as a memorial to those stirring sea vic- tories in the days of our then young Republic, which alone had the courage 1o attempt the subjection of the Tripo- litan pirates, whose activities had ter- rorized Mediterranean commerce for hundreds of years. The historic battle in the Bay of Tripoli, in which the pirate ships are defeated and the land defenses finally subdued, makes a gripping climax. Aside from its patriotic theme, the picture is noteworthy for wonderful % 5 photographic views and grim battle d i actions scenes. An innovation in film projec- 0, pletely tion is the enlargement of the screen is com to cover the full area of the stage with a beautiful picture of the majestic ©old ship with all sails to the wind. There is a thread of romance run- ning through the story, with Charles Farrell and Esther Ralston in the featured parts. However, it is the irrepressible Wallace Beery who steals the honors in a character interpreta- tion of a comical “bos'n.” KEITH'S—Nellie and Sara Kouns.
