JUDGE FTER all the wonderful adven- A tures that Captain Traprock had in the South Seas it seems like deliberate skepticism to pect the authenticity of ‘Aloma. Yet I can't help having my doubts of this picture.

And would the noble young white man repel her advances until such time as he felt like pro- posing marriage? Finally, is it prob- able that the beautiful native girl in grass skirt and brassiere, to whom the hula hula was as natural as breath, having fought to keep house for the unattached young white man and having won his proposal of mar- riage, would give up her fiancé J | | and Chester Conklin i “The Big Parade” “Ben-Hur —See it for th “Sea Beast’—Jack Barty blubber. “The Black Bird’ —Lon Chan oana of the South Seas filmed on the spot, minus Gilda Gray.

Gilda is not only supple and shapely but she has unmistakable personality, — which shows to great advantage when she pays her naive court to Bob Holden (Perey Marmont), her white hero.
