Strange ports that only Sailormen know, strong , rugged ruffians. And through it all the drama with the Woman, -- with himself. -- ALL NEXT WEEK -- George Bancroft and a good story seem to go hand in hand. For this popular star has been the dominant figure of numerous suspense-filled action dramas that command attention. Perhaps it is the Bancroft personality that gives colour and interest to each story. Or maybe its his sincerity and force of character that are strikingly evident in his portrayals. Wheteer it is, each new George Bancroft picure is pulsing, human, vital drama that compels attention and interest. Bancroft's new starring vehicle, "Derelict," is a notable example. Here is a vigorous, action-romance set against the surging, tempestous background of the sea. The stosphere os the picture, so beautifully and imaginately built up by the intelligent use of the camera, imparts the feeling of stern adventure and hard, passionate living. Each scene, as it unfolds before the eye, maintains the steady building up of a story and character, culminating in a dramatic climax of unusual and significant effect. "Derelict" is apicture to delight all George Bancroft admirers, a picture to thrill the most blase of audiences. The photography of "Derelict" is outstanding. Photographed mostly on location, the subtle, pervading magic of the tropics has been caught with a skiful (sic) and understanding eye. Too, the storm scenes, daring in their conception and completely thrilling to watch, are tremendously effective sequences the like of which are seldom seen on the audible screen. "One of the best pictures ever presented."
