Show THE SHOOTING OF DAN McGKEW Robert W. Service's greatest poem has been made into a magnificent screen drama, with Edmund Breese as the star. The story one of the most throbbing and dramatic ever produced, revolves around Jim Maxwell, Max-well, his wife Lou. their child and "Dan McGrew." McGrew convinces Lou that her husband is unfaithful and persuades her to elope with him to Alaska. She discovers his dis-picable dis-picable character, and becomes a woman in the dance halls. Maxwell becomes a wondeder and at last i nthe Malamute saloon, he comes face to face with Dan McGrew. What happens when these two meet is familiar to readers read-ers of Service's famous classic, and it is doubly powerful on the screen. The snow fields of the region of the Yukon furnish a beautiful background back-ground for the stirring drams. |
