Nagel enacts the rale of a famed gambler and Miss Adoree of a girl from the states. The story is essentially a romance. The Michigan Kid is a special, made at great expense, with an extensive locution trip and tremendous sets. Many weeks were spent in the .'forests near Sucramento, California, where the pine trees are the same species as found in Alaska. Here the vast panorama of California's mountain splendor was raptured on the screen at a time of year when the lofty peaks were he film is a combination of the . snow-cappe- d. highest cinematic beauty of localo and Uox Reach's most powerful druma of the Northern wilderness. The company spent several weeks quartered in a tiny hotel in a small town on the edge of the national forest rcservo near Sacramento.

Tho photodrnma was directed by Irvin Willat and contains among other outstanding sequences, the most thrilling forest fire ever filmed. J. Crubh Alexander prepared the adaptation of ht Itex Ileac novel, the scenario. for murder. Desiring an authentic courtroom presentation, Director Rert Ulennon exercised great care in selecting actors who hud such training.

French, the prosecuting attorney, while never a lawyer, studied for the profession, and was familiar wjth such proceedings. The jurymen had all served on a jury at one time or another, while the court stenographer served in a similar capacity in the courts of the cast. With such an array of legal talent, the picture reflects the atmosphere of theatre. Her success in this Irving Cummings picture is even more pronounced than in the earlier one, and she is in line for equally important roles in the future. Romance of the Underworld is based on Paul Armstrong's stage play of the same name. It abounds in thrills and is notable for the superfine acting and the faultless direction. Ren Hard and Robert Elliott also are Lyceum Theatre Regal beauty especially in pictures usually is fatal to a career.
