Maybe it's unfair to call "Lloyds of

company. It's mighty unfair if that

a stirring photoplay that's packed
with enjoyment for cinema fans. 1t
just looks like an advertisement for
one of the most famous firms in the
insurance business because the found
ing of LloydS and its growth from
coffee house to the savior of Britain's
merchant marine is the basis for the
motion picture.
That basis of the beginnings of
Lloyds has provided the background
for an exciting and ever-interesting
Story out of the beaten photoplay
paths. This yarn of young lad
driven by an insult to rise so high in
the world the insulters would be at
his feet is one that's bound to keep
your attention. The background, too,
provided by the early days of Lloyds
is stirring one-the recounting of the
turbulent days of England's history
when Lord Nelson was becoming a
hero.
Skilfully handled in story, direction
and production, "Lloyds of London"
also has to its advantage a cast of
exceedingly adept motion picture
players. Tyrone Power, for instance,
steps out in his first major role to
prove experience isn't always nee
essary adjunct of sureneSs before
the cameras. And some of the others
in the cast are Madeleine Carroll,

NINE. BROSIUS HEARD
IN SPLENDID RECITAL

A DISTINGUISHED audience filled
to capacity the Sulgrave Auditori-
um yesterday afternoon where Edythe
Marmion Brosius, harpiSt, gave her
annual recital.
AS usual, Nine BrosiuS' program
contained an interesting variety of
compositions ranging from the fourth
century TO the present time. To the
collection of older music arranged by
the artist, belonged some seven tunes
of ancient harpists of Scotland Wales
and Ireland, which found great favor
and were played by Nine Brosius on
the Irish harp.
Among the numbers best suited for
the harp, and which might be termed
the high lights OF the program, were
Chopln'S Prelude" in which the art
lSt displayed fine sorority of tone.
ZazelS Am Springbrunnen" and
Schucker'S "Mazurka," given as an
encore. In the Harmonious Black
smith by Handel. the harmonic ef-
fects were especially pleasing, as were
the clear, ripping passages of the
Zabel number and HaSselman'S Les
Toilets" which had to be repeated.
The third part of the program was
curtailed, due to the lateneSS of the
hour, but in Debussy's "Arabesque. -
Massenet's "Minuet d'Amour," a med
ley of favorite folksongs and a con-
cluding Spanish number, Nine Bro
sius had full opportunity to display
the charming qualities of her talent
and her command of the instrument
She is sincere musician who does
not limit her repertoire to the many
snowy or melodiouS numbers written
for the harp, but includes those which
call upon the full resources of the
instrument.
The artist was warmly acclaimed
after each number and presented with
several floral offerings at the close OF
the program. e. de S.

that basis, he is likely to be disap-
pointed.
The subject on which Twentieth
Century-FoX is going to succeed in
kidding you, through sheer leger-
demain, is that you should toss your
sympathies on the side of a man
guilty of the crime of baby snatching.
To be sure, it offers the bait that this
kidnaper is an ideahSt. He steals the
beautiful baby, not for ransom, but for
the rather far-fetched purpose of saw
ing the lives of millions of men
You don't see how it can be done?
Well, it happens that the babys
father is munitions manufacturer
who, the kidnaper assumes, is going
to plunge the whole world into war
unless his mind can be diverted from
the function of making and selling
munitions. The astonishing diversion
is accomplished by the kidnapping of
the baby. Apparently, it makes the
handy man of Mars forget about busi-
ness to spend the rest of his life seek
ing his little girl.

CHARLES FRANCIS COE wrote
the story originally. It is given
an Interpretation by Victor McLaglen
which is so deftly turned that you are
likely to find yourself believing it COM
pletely. That is good for Twentieth
Century-FoX but not so good for a
species which has to get more of its
mind, and less of emotion, into the
business of living.
McLaglen is back in his The In
former" mood again. Only in his huge
physical proportions will you recog-
nize him as the actor who made
picture recently under the name of
The Magnificent Brute" This time
he takes a completely odious role and
makes you like both it and himself.
That's acting.
Then there is Peter LORE to con-
tribute another performance that
gives credibility to the whole incred-
lble thing. He is the cell-mate of
McLaglen in a prison which always

toners to the Rialto Theater in large
numbers. A second Heek was clearly
indicated in the brilliant reception
given the picture at its gala opening
and both management an. public are

'CloiStered" is unique. II takes the
camera behind the high walls of a con-

when the subjects are unaware of the

happens in this instance, with a num-
Der OF close-ups testifying to the high
merit of the long-range lens as used

SCHOOL BUS NEEDS

Daily Dispatch Bureau.


Raleigh, Aug. 18-When the coming
school year opens, the school bus sit
uation will be "well in hand" accord
ing to Lloyd Griffin, executive secre-
tarv of the State School Commission.
Final delivery of buses, scheduled
to be completed before September /,
will give every county an adequate
number of buses in good operating
condition, he said.
How long the condition will con-
tinue satisfactory will depend largely
upon the "kind of winter the weather
man gives u.s." Mr.. Griffin added.
Since the opening of the fiscal year
the commission has ordered 700 buses,
Mr.. Griffin said, many of which have
already been delivered and have been
allocated to various counties. In adj
dition, there were some so delivered
between the passage of an emergency
appropriations measure by the 1887
legislature and the end of June. A
total of $750O00 has been spent on
these buses, Mr. Griffin said.
Still to be delivered to the commits
sion and still to be allocated to the
counties are so all steel buses which

bodies for the other buses are manu-
featured in the State at Wilson, High
Point and Conover.
There are already a dozen all-steel
buses in operation, not more than one
in any county. OF the new buses no
more than one will be allocated to any
county, with the possible exception OF
two counties which may get two bus
es each, Mr.. Griffin said.
They will be allocated he said, to
those counties in which the bus
routes are most travelled. The school
commission secretary said, however,
that the other buses have proved en-
tirely satisfactory and that they have
shown great strength in "crack-up"
tests.
