Wilson Benge, Adolph Milar and Gertrude Short carry off well adapted character roles.

The direction of "Bulldog Brummand" was in the hands of F. Richard Jones, one of Holly- wood's veteran directora, recently noted for his handling of Douglas Fairbanks' "The Gaucho."

The story built around the ad- ventures which befell a young demobilized English officer in search of excitement after the war, made one of the greatest melodramas of all time both. in book form and as the thriller sensation of both, the American' and English stages some years ayo. The torture-lust of Dr. Lakington and the imasterful criminality of his confederate, Peterson, provide a harrowing background for the love story of Bulldog Drummond's courageous devotion to Phyllis and her unfor tunate uncle.

The photography of "Bulldog Drummond" is said to be one of the finest examples of modern camera work and atmospheric settings which follywood has yet produced.
