Out Of the magic city that is
the Metro Goldwyn-Studios will
emerge this month the creation of
two years of effort and the ex-
pense Of two million dollars.

Donald Crisp, Henry Stephenson.
Francis Lister, Ian Wolfe, Dewitt
Jennings, Stanley Fields, Wallace
Clark and numerous others.
The actual story preparation of
"Mutiny on the Bounty" was in
work for more than a year. The
actual shooting required two long
trips to the South Sea Islands. The
cutting, editing. and scoring of the
picture alone required almost two
months, so careful were studio Of
ficials to produce q flawleSs
product.
The story Of ''Mutiny on the
Bounty" has been read by tens of
thousands of readers. In the an
mails of the seas there is probably
no more fascinating, adventurous,
nor thrill-crammed story than that
which is told in the novel which
recounted this thrilling saga of
H. M. S. The Bounty. Talbot Jen-
nings, Jules Furthman and Carey
Wilson, three noted screen writers,
transferred the novel to the screen.
Frank Lloyd, whose "Cavalcade, I"

great films earned outstanding
awards, directed this M.-G.-M.

James Cagney plays Bottom,
the weaver. The tradition Of the
stage has invariably thrust into
this role portly actors with a ro-

Not every good actor can speak
the verse of Shakespeare with
conviction nor lend it force and
vigor by expression. So If Rein
hardt'S masterpiece falters in its
romantic clcheS, blame it on the
puppets who found difficulty in
transferring from the modern di-

quite out of their element.

Bewildering Beauty
Herr Reinhardt has staged "a
Midsummer Nights Dream" on
stages all over the world. This
renowned dire tor confessed
frankly that he has been. up to
now, impeded by confining the
sweep of ShakeSpeare's fanciful
flights within the shackles Of
the proScenium arch. On the
studio lot, with the magic Of the
camera and the resources of a
great technical staff, he has been
able to transpose the poets lines
into spectacle of shining beauty
and staggering splendor.

THE MAGNET IN ALBERTA

Alberta in the province of Saskatchewan in the
Dominion of Canada is attracting all sorts of men
and women who seek an easy living. They have
heard of the social credit plan outlined by Prime
Minister Aberhart and they hope to share IN 1t.

been promised during the campaign that resulted

Mr. Aberhart finds Alberta with hundreds OF un-
wanted visitors apparently it was not foreseen
that this scheme would attract thousands of i'm
peyerished individuals from other provinces, who
would be entitled to dividend unless they were
excluded by some provision to residence qualiti-
cations and who in any case would have to be cared
for at public expense. 1884,.
"And now the same thing is happening in AL

Sinclair with his 'end-poverty' slogan was running
for governor The amount of poverty is being
greatly increased by the influx across the borders
Albertans are still waiting hopefully, but more or
less impatently, for the promised dividends"
The prime minister has discovered that it is
much easier to promise than to perform. The debt
problem of the province is said to be "giving him
trouble and it is indeed troublesome matter as
other provinces and countries can testify. But he
seems to be getting nearer a solution which
would result in food of credit or currency which
would make Alberta prosperous overnight. Eradi-
eating poverty by juggling of currency is indeed a
perplexing problem" 49, ....
