captain Blood is one Of the pic
lures you'll want to see; it's dramatic,
thrilling all the way through, and
brings to the screen young man
who's sure to be a star-Errol Flynn.
Off the screen Mr.. Flynn has the quiet,
reticent manner Of Ronald COlman.
He's very good looking, very intelli-
gent, and most likable.
