"THE STORM" is one of the distinctive pictures of the

Year. It is a Universal Jewel ́Super production and an adaptation

of Langdon McCormick's stage melodrama of the same name, which played an extended engagement in New York and then made a wide inur.. The theme is bigger than most stories of this sort and is packed full of real human interest every minute. There are numerous thrills scattered about and splendid acting, done in imagnifient outdoor settings, all tend to make this one of the finest attractions.
