Movie
At Keith's

Transatlantic Tunnel" which
opened yesterday at RKO Keith's,
is q picture that will linger long
in memory-a thing done with
brilliant imagination "a warm
and enthralling human story told
against a gigantic and epic back
ground Of achievement.
The story concerns the con.
struction Of a tunnel from Eng
land to the United States, built
under the Atlantic. Along with
this Is told the story Of the
engineer who headed the project.
It Is not by any means the
outstanding quality Of this pic.
ture but one notices neverthe-
less that there has been a brain
working here. The film displays
ideas. An utterly incredible and
fantastic thing is rendered plaus-
ible and wrought before your
eyes.
Fantastic Idea
The outstanding thing in this
remarkable film Is its imagina-
tive quality. It Is bizarre and
profoundly entertaining. And the
imaginative mind that conceived
the central theme of the film
the tunnel-did not eXpend itself
on that effort. There are bril-
liant flashes Of this quality
throughout the picture, which is
laid in the future-from 1910
until a decade or so later.
You will be interested in seeing
the screens conception Of tele-
vision. radio, airplaneS, autos and
architecture Of that period. This
phase Of the thing alone might
be dwelt on a. considerable
length. But let it be sufficient
to say that a theme that was
brilliantly conceived has been as
brilliantly executed down to the
last inconsequential detail. That
is thoroughness and it is also
good art.
The acting is quite in keeping
with the general excellence Of the
film. Richard Dix, Leslie Banks
and Madge Evans share honorS
as the leads in this magnificent
epic.
Richard Dix, as the engineer
possessed of a dream and who
gave much to the fulfilling Of it.
does a tremendously fine piece o.
work. Leslie Banks. the steadfast
friend whose loyalty never wav'
cred even when he was misunder-
stood, turns in as good a per-
formance as he ever did, and ]
can recall no time when he ever
gave a poor one.
Is Well Acted
Madge Evans turns in Superla-
tive and beautiful evenings work
in the role Of the wife.
Helen Vinson, c. Aubrey Smith
and Basil Sydney are among other
film notables who contribute to
the success Of the film. George
Arliss and Walter Huston appear
in brief sequences as the Prime
Minister of England and the Pres
ident of the United States. re-
Spectively.
The imaginative effects, which
I have limited at above, are par
ticularly noticeable in the shots
showing the tunnel under con-
struction. The scenes which show
the workers encountering a sub
marine volcano are extremely
thrilling.
The film is based on the novel.

EXTENSION ASKED
IN present N. R. A.
Clark Wants New Act Delay
Until After Courts
Give Decisions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Starting to draft a new N. r. A.
bill, the Senate Finance Committee
today ran into a demand for tenn
porary extension Of the present re-
covery law so the next session Of
Congress could deal with the prob
lem after Supreme Court decisions
on its constitutionality.
The demand came from Senator
Clark, Democrat Of Missouri, but the
committee took no action. r,
Chairman Harrison said he would
introduce, probably today. a series of
amendments to the administration
bill. They were understood to deal
with some of the most controversial
points such as relaxation of the anti
trust laws and price fixing.
A prediction was made by Harrison
that section z (A) Of the law, pro-
tecting the right of labor to organize,
would be extended in its present form.
Senate May Pass Bill First.
Authoritative sources reported to-
day that President Roosevelt is will
ing that the Senate pass the N. r. A.
extension bill first in an effort TO
quell threatening unrest in the House.
For months many House members
have objected that they were being
forced to take the rap by passing
controversial administration bills first
and without amendments. They
complained. for instance. that after
the House had passed the Work-relief
bill the Senate debated it a long
time and made changes, thereby gain
ing some prestige in the eyes Of those
who wanted TO see the changes made.
Today, however, administration sup
porterS, who asked that their names
not be published, said Mr.. Roosevelt
had no objection to reversal of that
procedure. Under the reversed plan,
the Senate would act first on the bill
extending the life of N. r. A., and the
House could then rewrite the measure.
That understanding indicated a lot of
rewriting was in store.
Harrison said he hoped the Fl.
nance Committee would finish its
work next week so the measure could
be brought to the Senate floor
promptly.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee-befoce which the admins
tratiul's N. r. A. bill is pending

said he hoped the Senate would act
on N. r. A. before the House
Treasury Wants Action.
1t was generally believed that
Doughton's idea was to wait until
next week to see what progress the
Senate committee was making before
starting the House committee OF,
other pending legislation. The Treas
ury was pressing for prompt action on
its anti-smuggling bill, which would
let the President extend customs en-
forcement areas beyond the present
l2-mile limit as move against rum
runners.
The strategists. said 10 have per-

in addition to the S4830,0000 900 bill,
the House had to pass first all of the
nine regular annual appropriations

tax legislation.
