Not only do you see a good show, well worth the
money, but you benefit the First Division of the Wom
an’s Club if you see “The Fourth Alarm” at the Caro
lina Theatre Saturday morning at 10 o’clock.
STORY OF THE PICTURE
Judged, by the standards of such independent releases, “The Fourth
Alarm" is well done It combines all the elements of thrill stuff that
pleases in double-bill and small grind spots.
Such stories as this programmer fells seldom can stand analysis and
“The Fourth Alarm" is no exception We are asked to believe that a chem
ical manufacturer is making nitro-glycerin secretly in his plant. The au
thorities are not notified because of the obvious fire hazards entailed. Just
how he intends disposing of his product commercially without letting any
one know he makes the Stuff is not explained. Perhaps that was the secret.
For love interest, we have the daughter ot' the big “soup" and cracker
man and the son of the city’s fire department. They meet when the girl,
indulging her passion for fast auto driving, races with a hook and ladder
truck piloted by tlte boy. He takes a fall off the truck to avoid sideswip
ing the lady's car. In the hospital, while his broken leg is mending, true
love is born.
The girl’s father sees in their friendship an opportunity to cover his
manufacture of nitre-. He has the kid appointed fire inspector for the
district. They say love is blind, so the lad is not expected to see what is
going on.
Hut the gallant young smoke-eater is of the Horatio Alger stuff. Re
gardless of consequences, he decides to spill the beans about the soup. The
girl refuses to believe her father's villiany and starts out to investigate.
She is locked in the storeroom with the explosives just as fire breaks out
below.
It might be mentioned that the fire was extremely generous to the
plot construction. Although the blaze started in the room beneath the
place in which the nitre is stored, the flames considerately burned the low
er floor and adjoining buildings first. The boy is thereby allowed to effect
a last minute rescue of his sweetheart.
Nick Stuart plays the,fireman’s child who arrives in the nick of time.
Somehow or other he manages to be ingratiating in the role. The rest of
the cast are capable enough.
The t ire sequences are thrillingly handled and guaranteed to bring the
kills to their feet in excitement. And, after all, that was the idea behind
the making of “The Fourth Alarm."
