Courageous" but it gains potency by
virtue OF that fact. Those not familiar
with 1t will find that it concerns the
desperate need of . sensitive child
for love and guidance. Bartholomew "
is the child, wealthy. spoiled. ut odds
with the world. Tracy, who picks
him up at sea after he has fallen over
board from q liner bound for Europe,
provides the love and guidance that
develop the inherent fineness In him.
Three months they are together on a
fishing boat OIL the Grand Banks,
certainly the last place the rich brat
wants to be. But he stays, learns to
work, to live with others, to love
Manuel above all other things in the
world. 1t is developed with poignant
accent which the stage, with its pre-
sumed corner on that kind Of story
telling, might well envy-and deeply.

When this arrangement is perfected,

would be issued to the American
cruiser Raleigh or possibly two de-
stroyers in the American naval squad

off, probably at some port on the East
Coast of Spain.
