Originally released in 1923 by the Hodkinson Corporation. MARGUERITE COURTOT, RAYMOND McKEE, CLARA BOW Clora Bow1s films ore considered the epitome of the Jazz Age, yet she mode her screen debut not in a flapper role, but as o Quaker girl in DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS, o whal ing epic whose authenticity and realism make today's JAWS and ORCA seem tame in comparison. Elmer Clifton, who directed DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS, was o long-time associate of D. W. Griffith - he hod leading roles in THE BIRTH OF A NATION end IN TOLERANCE - end his devotion to the master's methods is much in evidence in this film. Th� use of long literary quota• tions, the attention to detail, the visual appeal of the pr0duc• tion all owe much to Griffith's teachings. Set in New Bedford, the whaling capitol of America in the 1850's, DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS faithfully recaptures on film Quaker life of 100 years ago and the exploits of the whaling industry; its stir• ring scenes of on actual whale hunt hove never been surpass• ed. As Photoploy noted ct the time, "There is o superb freshness to the whaling scenes - and brand new thrills to the hand to hand combats." The leading players, Raymond McKee and Marquerite Courtot, ore perhaps not too well remembered today, but that is not to say they do not ploy their parts well.
