It is a pec- taclllar IllPO Rtinorvlaoil ilrnmn nt Invn and adventure, tho main acting being in uui snuui sen islands. Though n comedian by training and oxporionco on tho stage, Mack is os sontlally a vlrilo dramatic actor, and for that roason In their collaboration J. G. Hawkjt nnd Thnmna IT. Tnon mado tho role assigned to hlin.ono ot iiuonsuy. it is uio part of a y6ung at torney who through tho uso of Intoxi cants finds cotdrnirft nnd fnrpofiilnnaa -onough to win nn Important criminal case. Tho story of hlo subscnuont physical decline and ultimate redemp tion alt tho hund or a pretty tropical princess affords Mack uniinnnl lunuics. Asldo from tho emlnonco of its star and tho rich dramatlo qualities ot tho Btory, tho production finds great strotigth In its spectacular Bhlpwtreck and volcano scenes. Fortuuatoly for tho producer, Sulphur canyon, adja cent to Incovillo, was emitting smoko at tho tlmo tho picture was produced. Sulphur canyon is characterized as "Naturo's Enigma." Due to somo sub terranean disturbances, it becomes nc tlvo from tlmo Ho tlmo and pours forth great volumes of smoko and vapor. Frequently tho phenomena last for several wooks consocutlvoly.
