REVIEWS:

"The weird and wonderful history of H. M. S. Bounty is magnificently
transferred to the screen in 'Mutiny on the Bounty', which opened at the
Capitol Theatre yesterday. Grim, brutal, sturdily romantic, made out of
horror and desperate courage, it is as savagely exciting and rousingly
dramatic a photoplay as has come out of Hollywood in recent
years. .... 'Mutiny on the Bounty' contains the stuff of half a
dozen adventure pictures. It is superlatively thrilling."
