Thrilling Scenes in

Big in its dramatic values, smash-
ing in its conception of the spectac-
ular. “The Tornado." starring House
Peters. opened yesterday in the
Regent Theatre. The picture is fine
entertainment in many ways. but
its biggest appeal lies in
the stupendous scenes depicting the
fury of nature as emphasized in the
rcsistless powers of storm and flood.
There are a. number (3 these big
scenes. The most thrilling and dur-
ing in conception are those resultant
from a. big log jam. which dams up
n storm—swollen river .until the flood
enters threaten to sweep away a
little settlement. At the some time
there is an assault by hurricane,- a.
writable tornado that tears loose.
The air is filled with debris: the
other is the battering down of a
bridge which collapses just as a
train is crossing. the whole being
plunged into the river where the
passengers and crew struggle for
their lives.

little settlement where the “Tor—

Peters and Miss Cliflord do some
fine acting in the scene where she
goes to his cabin to learn Why he
has refused to see her. Another
tensely dramatic scene is where

descends upon the land. It is "The

“The Tornado" swept on the crest
