NEW STANDARD IN
MOTION PICTURES
SET BY “SEA HAWK
» Once in a long time there
comes to the screen a photoplay
of such magnitude, such general
excellence and such stirring ap
peal as to lift high above all
others and establish it as a new
high standard for attainment.
Such a photoplay is “The Sea
Hawk,” a First National picture,
produced and directed by Frank
Lloyd and „ the current attraction
at the Alamo theatre.
“The Sea Hawk” is that rare
combination of an exceptionally
fine story, a theme which grips
one at the outset and tightens it
with each succeeding scene, a su
perb piece of direction and a re
markable histrionic demonstration
by every member of the unusually
large and well known cast.
Beautiful Romance.
In “The Sea Hawk” Sabatini
lives up to his title of “the mod
ern Dumas,” his romance between
Sir Oliver and Rosamund is one
of the most unusual the screen
has known, his situations are log
ical and decidedly entertaining,
and he has given his characters
real work to do.
