Granada theater, starting Saturday, March 2. In the title role, McLaglen is seen as an engineer on a Pacific liner-a hard boiled seaman whose nickname come·s from the fact that he lashes his stokers with a figurative whip. Of an elemental type, but' with a shrewd intelligence, he is drawn into a net of international m}"stery, in which the leading figure is a girl of great beauty. Claire Windsor plays the part of the girl. While it isn't often man's garb is made much of in. 'motion pictures, McLaglen appears in varied dress to illustrate different phases of his disposition. In the engine hold, on deck, and on shore his dress helps bring out the strength of his character. Jane Winton, Clyde Cook and Arthur Stone are others of note in "Captain La!sh." The picture plays at the Granada on the program with "Montmartre Madness." This is Benny Meroff's show, which Marks Bros. state introduces new stage wonders to Chicago theatergoers.
