NOTES
V THE LOTUS EATER.
I care not for the maddened tush
Of Heartless city street.
Oh, give to me the saddened hush
Where fleld and forest meet.
I sigh not for the endless stream
Where maddened millions fly,
But let me idly lie and dream
, And watch the world go by.

A t
Scene from “The Sea Hawk.
This picture, the sensatioii of the
year in filmdom, will show again
today and tomorrow.
“The Sea Hawk” deals with the
romance and sacrifice of Sir Oli
ver Tressilian, who shortly after
the announcement of his marriage
to Rosamund Godolphin is accus
ed of murdering her brother, is
kidnaped, taken to sea by a profli
gate sea captain and later made
a galley slave on a Spanish gal
leon when the pirate ship is cap
tured.
After many months of toil at
the big oars, many privations and
long hours to give to brooding
over his misfortune Oliver es
i capes, becomes the commander of
j an Algerian ship, returns to Eng
land, kidnaps Rosamund and his
own brother and -forces the lat
ter to confess to the murder of
which he is accused.
This is vividly related and the
dramatic adventure contains many
thrills and much that is original
and entertaining.
Milton Sills plays the princi
pal character of the play, with
Enid Bennett, Lloyd Hughes, Wal
lace Beery, Frank Currier, Wal
lace MacDonald, William Collier,
Jr.; Marc MacDermott, Mme. Me
dea Radzina", Claire du Brey,
Kathleen Key, Hector V. Sarno,
Fred de Silva and many other
well known screen folk in his
support.
Four ancient ships costing over
i a quarter of a million dollars to
build, an entire Algerian city,
with historical slave markets, and
a wardrobe valued at more than
$85,000 are but a few of the un
usual features of u The Sea
Hawk.”
