to the spectacular. Mr.. De Mile has
looked we'll (s2,0OO,O0O worth, they
say to the bigness and beauty Of his
settings. The La Fitte home in Bara-
taria, which is blown to bits in the
first spectacular battle, is one of the
most imposing structures built by loot

Other settings. especially that for the
climactic battle in which the British
are repulsed. are no less lavish. We are
in no position to say what New Orleans
and the bayou villas looked like IN
those days. but they could not have
looked bit more authentic than those
which were recreated for THE Buc-
cancer"
AS intimated previously, the prin-
clpals in the picture are numerous and
well chosen. Akin Tamirof as Ma
poleons cannoneer, who turned to
piracy as a nice way to go on being
violent, gives superb performance as
a lusty killer who retains his gentle,
understanding side. He makes it clear
in his enthusiastic shooting of the
British at New Orleans that he still
has vivid and bitter memories of
Waterloo, where he and Napoleon took
a serious licking
AN KEITH as the treacherous Sem
ator Crawford of Louisiana, WAL
ter Brennan as Mr.. Peavey, Jack
sons coonskin-clad orderly, Hugh
Sothern as Gen. Jackson, Douglas
Dumbrille as Gov. Claibourne of
Louisiana and Anthony Quinn as
Beluche are others who turn in gem
like transformations. Among the
women, Margot Grahame. who has not
always been so happy to look upon
as an actress, is effective as the social
lite flancee of La Fitte Spring Bying-
ton and Beulah Bondi are two others
giving further evidence of their re-
liability when Hollywood wants some
solid work done we'll.
If The Buccaneer" leaves any rea-
sonable ground for complaint it is
with respect to length. Mr.. De Mile
either used too much gunpowder or
100 much comedy in the final battle
scene for there were times when it did
not seem to make much difference even
II the British won if only the thing
would end.
But the comedy which one found a
olt excessive or alien at this point is
mighty handy in other areas of the
MIN as a way of showing the pirates
at heart to be hardly more than low
able, WayWard boys as ready to laugh
as to cut an enemy throat.
The Buccaneer" is Mr.. De Miles
b4th picture. 1t cannot fail to encour-
age a demand for his 65th.

THAT excellent Chester Hale chorus
you heard about last week has
been held over for second engage
ment on the Capitol stage bill, and
once again its numbers are the cream
of the vaudeville show. The girls have
two precision numbers in their current

is pleasant if rather arty (and not OF
the Sally Rand brand of art either
so soddy). While waiting to see all
their clever dancing you'll have a

the same gags. but seem able to amuse

TER PROGRAM AND POST
, Err APPROVED

Junior Chamber of Commerce
in a business meeting at The Citi-
zen office last night decided to
plan a way to temporarily repair
the scenic Boulevard around the
city, which is at present rutted
with a number of deep holes.
In discussion it was brought
out that along with the present
dearth of sponsors contributions
for W.P.A. activities it would re-
quire $4,000 to make available a
large amount of federal funds
with which to complete resurfac-
ing the Boulevard. It was decid-
ed, however, that the present
condition of the Boulevard is so
lamentable that temporary re-
pairs would be undertaken by the
Chamber. 1t is hoped to work
out the matter through labor
available from the county. IF
need be we shall do the job our
selves asking for city-wide vol
untary labor, it was declared.
Poster on which monthly bull
letins will be printed advertising
the various exhibitions, events
and recreational facilities of Key

approved by the group. Pho post

gram 1898" in large letters. The
coloring is in orange, maroon

submitted list of attractions for
December and several additions
and details were suggested.
The club decided to push the
inauguration of boxing matches
in the city. A great number of
the winter visitors last year en-
joycd impromptu matches held
last season. New member, Dub
Bowen, well-known fighter of
Miami, and a Jaycee signed last
night. and Irving Hamper will
aid the Jaycces in forming a fight
program. Amateur fights and
"youRgster" fights in Key West
will first be held.

fer a swimming pool 10 be locat-
cd possibly on the Boulevard of
