he was hurled headlong into the most
amazing pd ventures ever conceived!. China,
India, Italy, Malayland beckoned, and he
went swiftly. Then, one wonderful night when the moon
hung low over the Adriatic, Grogan caught a glimpse of
his dream girl's soul. Adventure tossed him into the
hellish power of "The Pied Piper of Petticoat Lane," only
to snatch him away in time to save his life by a hair's
breadth!
At Tremendous Expense
Few productions have cost as much as "The Luck of
the Irish." It was filmed in the most remote and most
romantic spots on the globe. Do not confuse this picture
in any way with ''The Lord Loves the Irish," which ran
at the Moon some time ago.
