PRIESTLEY NOVEL IS BROUGHT TO UPTOWN
 IN SPLENDID FILM

The Good Companions from J. B. Priestley's famous novel of the anne title, produced by Fox Films which opened at the Uptown The ater last night, immediately stamp ed itself as something blithely dif- ferent in screen entertainment. The film has a glamor all it's own and it's characters are as humanly vivid as a Dickens novel.
 The acting in this delightful dra- ma is splendid and it is directed with flueney and speed. Jessie Mat thews gives beautifully refresh-
 ng performance as little Susie Dean. the young star of the the atrical troup in which the charac- tcrs become associated. The story, IS it is brought to life on the Tcreen, depicts the rcmances, ad- ventures, the heart breaks and the successes of group of stage people pledged to see each other through thick and thin. They are held to- gether by nothing more tangible han a love and respect for one another. The scene is constantly changing as the troup moves from place to place. Others, in the fine ,ast are Edmund Gwern, John Gielgud and Mary Glynna.

BABES IN TOYLAND" AT THE CAPITOL WITH
 LAUREL AND HARDY

Victor Herbert's immortal March of the Toys" and Castle in Spain" IS well as the delightful fantasy and story book figures of childhood have been brought to the screen in a film that should be a joy and revelation to children and grown ups. The title of this feature length production by Hal Roa.c h-MGM combination is Babes in Toyland" and Laurel and Hardy are starred. It opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 The combination of Laurel and Hardy's rollicking comsdy with Vic .or Hesoert's pulsating music, added to gorgeously fantastic sets and su- pcr5 singing, makes picture that can be enjoyed by anybody, young or old, rich or poor, Indian Chief or candlestick maker, according to reviewers. Laurel and Hardy are TWO apprentice toymakers, who in their sincere but wild attempts to get the Widow Peep, who lived in The Shoe and her daughter Bo- Peep, out of the clutches of Toy lands villain, Barnaby, involve themselves in a series of hilarious events that at times turn the op- eretta into a screamingly funny comedy.

possibility is at the bottom of the heap.
 Those who nave sssen seeking the magic formula for a union of the conservatives Of all parties appear convinced that the only real opposi- ton which can be interpos d against the Roosevelt ticket next year must come from the conserv- ative side.
 They are more certain every day that MT Roosevelt will get the bulk Of the left-wingers into camp be- fore election day; and they point cut that the left-wing third party idea is rapidly petering out. s
 The La Toilette progressives amid praise fer the present administra- tion, decide against putting a ticket of their own into the field. The Sinclair followers incline toward Roczevslt, says their leader. Father Coughlin continues hopeful that the good in the Roosevelt regime yet can be saved
 A breaking down of any prospect of union at that extreme means a redoubling of effort to form a real union at the other extreme; be- cause it increases the conviction of the conservatives that they, and they alone, can stand between MT. Roosevelt and reelection.

JUNEAU FISH
 VESSEL HITS
 ROCK OFF B.C,
Halibuter Addington Sub- merged Capt. Sevold,
 Crew Take to Boats

The sinking and then the sal vaging of the Juneau halibut ves- sel Addington in Metlakatla Pas sage off Prince Rupert, B. O., was told dramatically in Associated Press dispatches received by The Empire today from the Canadian bort.
 First came the flash that the Americal halibuter. skippered and owned by a Juneau man, Capt Ole Sevold, had struck rock in Metlakatla Passage and had heeled lover. She was submerged by the tide.
 The dispatch further said that Capt. Sevold and his crew were forced to take to life boats. They rowed into Prince Rupert for as- sistance. The Addington, the early dispatch stated, was inbound to sell 5000 pounds of halibut at Rupert at the time of the acci- dent. The first information indi- cated that, although an attempt would be made to salvage the ves- sel, the catch was a total loss.
 Howeve.', word received from Rupert late this afternoon indi- cates that both the ship and the catch of fish have been saved. The Addington has been raised today, and has been found to be not badly damaged
 No insurance is carried on the vessel.
