...Code of the Sea. This picture contains some very authentic thrills, even laying hold of the sophisticated cinema-goer who knows there is a happy ending around the corner. It has the most legitimate and engrossing scenes of a shipwreck and rescue at sea ever plastered on the films. This concerns the efforts of the young commander of a light-ship to rescue his beloved and her party, clinging to a yacht that is impaled on treacherous reefs.

Enduring the unpleasant interruption as long as she was able, she must finally have given way to "that uncontrollable impulse" and have imposed summary justice upon the offender. And "justice" of a kind it certainly was, for another movie-goer in another part of the country was fined severely some time ago for this same offence which brought about the demise of the first Nachville woman...
