LONDON MARKET
TONE IMPROVES
Consolidation Process Continues
&. With Slight Gain in Volume.
New York Watched.
BY Cable to The Star

4y Gable to The Star.
LONDON, Dec. 18.-In a week of
quiet trading the securities market
consolidation process continued with
. slight expansion in turnover.
The bullish effect of Premier Cham
berlain's summary on the trade out
look was accentuated by the defense
minister's statement that the peak
Of rearmament would not be reached
for another Is months. The firm
tone of the British and American pro-
tests to Japan also encouraged hopes
that recurrence of recent incidents
would be avoided, thus prompting bear
covering. But the latter was only
partly responsible for the recovery in
the tone, dealers in most sections re-
porting modest but general demand.
1t Is impossible to assess the extent
to which this was assisted by the
apparently inevitable optimism asso-
ciated with the new year.
1t is generally recognized now that
In certain directions business has ex-
perienced setback largely connected
with the commodity price fall, but
the latter has substantially dis
counted such setback as has occurred
IN some industries.
Much depends on the restoration
Of business confidence in the United
States. 1t is widely believed here
that conclusion of an Anglo-Amer-
lean trade agreement will provide the
much needed tonic for international
trade.

49,
warner Brothers has q definite
flair for putting crisp, business
like exposes on the screen. A
knack Of doing a grand job Of re-
porting or covering" subject
much in the manner that would
be tackled by first rate Fourth
Estaters.
Ordinarily such subject mat
ter as SAN Quentin" might be
considered as rather grim mate
rial, but not in the hands OF
Warnerites. Instead, the story Of
this penal institution rapid-fires
on the silver sheet as . rip-roar-
ing yarn Of tense situations, gobs
of robust comedy and one Of the
greatest "chaseS" ever put on the
screen.
Pat O'Brien carries off the sure
fire role Of a military man put in
charge Of San Quentin's men with
his usual fast chatter and punchy
moments.
There are two kinds Of prisoners
in any large penal institution. One
is the chap who got Q bad break
and can, under the proper han
ding, be made to reform. The other
is the labitual criminal who, un-
der all types Of circumstances, in
tends to spend most Of his life be-
hind bars.
Although there is little obvious
preaching in the dialogue, there Is,
in a subtle manner, however, much
to be learned. Aside from its en-
tertainment value, there is Q moral
and it will probably do q great
deal Of good.
Much in the speed style Of q
newsreei, Director Lloyd Bacon has
smashed out his scenes with the
force and rapidity Of q machine
gun. And the dialogue, which, by
the way, is splendid, is delivered
with the sharpness Of q metallic
click.
Humphrey Bogart, Barton Mac
Lane, Joseph Sawyer, James Rob.
bins, Ann Sheridan, Joseph King.
Veda Ann Borg, Garry Owen and
others lend excellent support.
For a spirited and speedy view
of a place I hope you'll never see

Captains Courageous
By Jimmy Starr

by Rudyard Klpling. Screen play By
John Lee Mahin, Marc Connolly and
Dale Van Every. Photographed by
associate producer.
For II long and tireSome
months MONS Captains Cou-
rageouS" crew labored to bring
to the screen an outstanding epic
Of Gloucester fishermen-a spir-
tied saga Of the sea, dramatically
depicting q rather strange and
thrilling existence for sailors who
battle the elements in their ef-
forts to capture the denizenS OF
the deep.
Not only did M-G-M pour much
time into this effort, but huge
sums of money as well. And well
spent was this labor and cash.
The result is an outstanding
cinematic achievement, not alone
from the technical standpoint but
from the histrionic quality put on
celluloid.
Jinx after ink pursued this
unit. A man was lost at sea; i'll
ness put Freddie Bartholomew,
Director Fleming and others out
of commission for weeks. Freak
weather tossed filming schedules
about with no thought Of the huge
investment.
Finally, they got down to the
business of putting scenes on
celluloid. The story is about small
obnoxious and pampered son OF .
millionaire who toppled from q
huge liner, was rescued by q Por-
tuguese fisherman (Spencer
Tracy and taken aboard the
Gloucester fishing boat, We're
Here. The gradual change in this
young brat is accomplished with
finesse, tenderness and consider
able comedy.
During the three months the
We're Here is sailing about, a
beautiful companionship grows be-
tween Freddie and Spencer love
so great, so true to life, that when
they are taken from one another
there isn't dry eye in the theater.
Director Fleming is to be highly
praised for the vigor in which he
made the log Of the We're Here
live with realism seldom attained
on the screen. And q bow, too,
to Scenarists Mahin, Connolly and
Van Every for the excellent writing
and their good taste in avoiding
maudlin scenes. High-pitched and
raging were their racing and storm
moments, but their drama had the
easy beauty Of soft spring day.
I always thought young Barthol-
omew was more Of an actor than
he was real boy. With this mag
nificent performance I reverse my
opinion. Long has Spencer Tracy
been one of my favorites. thought
he should have won some sort Of
an academy award for his work
in "San Francisco" but I am GER

abandoned house near Camp War

The girl had been missing from

A stout cord was looped around
the child's neck and tied to the
knob of door. The body was
face downward and seven red bricks
had been placed at even intervals
on the back.
Mrs. Lesandi notified the police

the case. He found Joan's slippers
and stockings on the beach, and
both he and the aunt concluded
she had waded into deep water and
been drowned.
The body was found by two crab
fishermen.
