After riotously conceding that man
kind is at present headed toward self
destruction in war, Mr.. Wells unfolds
a dream of the next century, wherein
humanity arisen from the dust OF a
muddled world achieves the COM
forts and efficiencies of scientific liv-
ing. In this paradise of steel and
ease, all nuisances from the common
head cold to the traffic problem have
been eliminated, but its author Is con-
strained to admit that such a crea-
ton somehow bellies its own heavenly
nature, leaving mankind as a clever
atom in a world of mechanical mon
sters rather than the dominant species
In a world of blooded beasts.

been killed off in the deadly gaseous
wars of l94O-1966. Only man and
his machines have survived, and Mr..
Wells evidently doubts that these two
may occupy the globe alone in perfect
serenity. Seeking a raison d'etre
for his perfect civilization, he sug-
gests that man may have been placed
upon the earth for the purpose OF ex-
ploring the universe when the time
is ripe, and in the last scenes of this
thoroughly stimulating film a son

FAUNTLEROY RELlVES

Child Actor Plays Role With No
Tinge of Sissiness and Makes
It Memorable One.

II NJ emOTd Ole One.
IN ONES remembrance of things
past the story of Ceddie Enrol,
despite its sentimentality. is much
dearer than it was when one first
discovered it.
Freddie Bartholomew Is responsible
for ones happy rediscovery of Little
Lord Fauntleroy, and the blotting out
of the memory of engravings depict
ing cheeky lad with golden curls.
For young Freddie. who is featured
in the current Columbia film, is no
sissy, but rough and tumble sort of
chap who occupies little corner in
the heart of Mr.. Hobbs, the apple
woman. and the boot black.
The sincerity Of the movie version
OF this nineteenth century tale is due
to Hugh Walpole's adaptation: the
restraint to the actors.
There are tears and sentiment in
the story Of young Brooklyn boy
who goes to England to claim his title
and his gruff grandfather's love.
There is laughter in Hobbs. store. and
there is much that is fine, but left
unspoken.
The other performances which will
make Little Lord Fauntleroy" a
memorable thing to the present and
the older generation are given by C.
Aubrey Smith, Henry Stephenson, Una
O'Connor. Mickey Rooney. Dolores
| Costello and Guy Kibbee.
For all its quaintness, the only
primness in the tale is found in
