CROSS Sticks N
HAHRINgRE'S CAP
COMING I0BgR


What are those little sticks which
John Barrymore, star Of Warner Bros.
production Of eThe Sea Beast wears
crossed in bis stocking caps This is
q question which win probably occur
to most Of those who see this picture
now playing At the D & r theater. :
They are not just gay ornaments,
nor are they hatpins to anchor the
cap in a high wind. They are har-
poon pins or pegs and they signify
that the man who wears them is q
harpooner, o. t'boatsteerer,y as the
whaling men express it in their YER
naeuIar.
The "boatsteerers" are picked men.
They are usually three of them to
whaling vessel and they rank as pet
" officers under the captain and three
mates, each of whom commands a
boat, the captain remaining on the
ship.
In his novel, "Moby Dick" from
which 1.-THE Sea Beast" is adapted,
Herman Melville says Of the harpoon-
.er, 'sNow it needs a strong nervous
arm to strike the first iron into the
fish, for often in what is called
long dart, the heavy implement has
to be flung the distance of twenty
to thirty feet. But, however pro-
longed and exhausting the chase, the
harpooner is expected to pull his ear
meanwhile to the utmost; indeed, he
is expected to set an example of sup
erhuman activity to the the test, not
only be incredible rowing, but by re-
peated loud and intrepid ordinations.
No wonder that some Of them actually
burst their bloodvessels in the boat.
