^^^^John Barrymore's only ^ stage or screen appearance this season is a performance that won unstinted praise from ^>ress and public. It is a new type of role; a virile, forceful characterization , that will live forever in screen history. York Qritics Said: A picturization of Herman Melville's immortal story of New Bedford whaling "Moby Dick" with Dolores Costello Direded by 3Iillard Webb "A tremendous victory for Warner Bros. It will doubtless crowd the house for weeks to come. Barrymore presents one of the most virile and powerful characters ever seen on the screen." ^ doming Telegraph. "The final embrace of the lovers brought rousing applause such as is rarely evoked from an audience." ^Svening World. "You may spend all the praises at your command and still feel that you haven't done the piece more than half justice." ^T>aily %ews. "One of the finest seascapes on record. You can't afford to miss seeing John Barrymore." •—Svening Telegram. "Dolores Costello is one of the finest actresses of the screen. She has youth, beauty, individuality." — "^ew York oAmerican. "A fine picture with drawing power, through itself and by virtue of the ma^ic of the Barrymore name, as well as his performance. The picture without Barrymore would have stood up '—with him it's that much stronger." — SlME in 'Variety. A Warner Bros. Production
