directs tlie yacht to an island. While

Regent "It's A Great Life" was
made from Mary Roberts Rlnehart'a
novel, "The Fmplre Riiilders." and
shows a delightful excursion into the
boyhood ideas of a number of college
jouths. The author knows bow to
write about bo.vsj some of her best
works are about them, for sho has some
of her own. In the selection of F.
Mason Hopper for director, a man has
been chosen who has a tlecp feeling for
the ideas of youth.
The fact that this is a story so true
to life that one Is apt to forget It is
a movie makes it doubly interesting.
Much of the story has to do with the
dreams of a student when he Imagines
lie Is a king In n South Sea Island tin
main. Pearls are so plentiful niere
thnt the unlives do not appreciate them.
This thought is shown to hnvi" devel
oped from the fact that before retiring
tlie , outli had found a pearl in an o.vs
ter. The eating of other indigestible
brings on further complications. The
stor.v has a love interest that is pretty
and human between the hid and the
professor's daughter.
