"Grand Canary" .

Warner Baxter hends the strong cast with which Josse L. Lanky brings A. J. Croin's bost seller novel, "Grand Canary," to the screen of the King's Theatre on Wednesday. In his second vehicle as a full-fledged star, Baxter portrays the role of tho eminent young doctor and scientist who is the principal character in the magnificent love story and, the grip ping drama of regeneration. Enrly in the picture, Baxter boards a ship at Islands. His nerves are shattered, his life apparently wrecked because the world regards him as a murderer, misunderstanding his efforts to save three dying patients by incorulating them with a serum he has developed. Through the strategy of political enemies the eases were turned over to him too late and death resulted. On the voyage he meets, among other
