184 CLASS 8— Dramas 8149 Code SEGUR Code of the Sea Paramount Featuring Rod La Rocque, Jacqueline Logan, George Fawcett Twenty years back, John McDow, Captain of the lightship "Relief" that guards Great Barrier Reef, disobeyed the code of the sea when he weighed anchor and took his ship to rescue the girl he loved, from a schooner being battered in a storm. While the lightship was off its station, a big passenger liner was wrecked on the reef. Bruce McDow, John's son, grows to manhood, a sufferer from his father's breach of trust. He is pointed out as a coward and the son of a coward, and believes himself to be just that. He loves Jennie Hayden, daughter of Captain Hayden, commander of the crack steamer "Northern." Hayden hates the name of McDow, but Jennie manages to obtain for Bruce a commission as first mate on the lightship "Relief," although the tovvn is up in arms against him. Jennie goes for a cruise on the yacht "Neroid." The captain of the lightship is transferred and Bruce is left in command. That night a great storm comes up. The "Northern" is crawling in with a broken propeller shaft. Suddenly, in the midst of the terrible gale, a wireless message comes from the "Neroid" in distress near the reef. The lightship, if it goes to the rescue, is the only thing that can save Jennie Hayden. And the "Northern," with 400 passengers, is groping her way toward the Reef, dependent on the light! Bruce is faced by the same problem as was his father, twenty years before. But he solves it differently. The lightship remains at the station, and Bruce, alone in a launch, goes through those mountainous waves to the rescue of the passengers on the "Neroid." You will hold your breath as you watch him fighting his way. One of the greatest storm pictures ever filmed and more intensely dramatic. You will see ships buffeted by mountainous waves, a little yacht riding the tempest like a cockle-shell until it grinds itself to pieces against a reef, a cringing coward become a red-blooded, fighting he-man and a happy, satisfactory ending. 1974 feet— on 5 reels Rental $5.00 8150 Code SEKA The Grand Duchess and the Paramount Waiter Featuring Florence Vidor and Adolphe Menjou Florence Vidor, a Grand Duchess, has been forced to flee to Paris with a vestige of her court, following the rise of revolutionists in her home country. Attending a theatre one evening, she is seen by Adolphe Menjou, a millionaire Beau Brummel, who immediately becomes infatuated with her. When his attempts to meet her are coldly ignored, he engages a suite of rooms directly below those she occupies at a prominent hotel, and bribes an old waiter to allow him to act as a floor-waiter in her suite. In his efforts as waiter, however, he fails miserably and ends by spilling a pitcher of cream over her. Angered by his clumsiness, the Duchess determines to punish him, first making him a member of her personal staff, then proceeding to make his life miserable by loading him with every unpleasant task from washing her dog to shining her shoes. One evening, unable to sleep, she orders some champagne. Menjou brings a bottle and two glasses. The Duchess demands an explanation and Menjou discloses his love for her.
