has encountered in years.
1t is good story and fine cast of
youngsters and adults that Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer has fused to make
"Lork jeff" worthy of general atten-
tion.
The scene is the somewhat fresh one
Of the British institution which trains
youngsters for the nations proud mer-
chant marine Into it is introduced
rapidly growing up Freddie, who
chooses the school, Russel-Cotes, as
an alternative to the reform school
whose doors had been opened to him
through q youthfully enthusiastic life
OF crime. Once more, in his first con-
tact with the rough surface of the
world. Freddie comes to the audience
as snob just as he did in Captains
Courageous" The remainder of the
story Is how the school brought out
what is called the good stuff" in him
and enabled him to triumph over the
obstacles set in his way by the early
training of couple of arch society
crooks
The character is one that requires
quite some acting, but Freddie is the
master OF its very fine shading. When
1t Is up to him to be downright loathe-
some IN his snobbishness, he becomes
downright loathesome Conversely
when life and circumstance start to
wallop the meanness out of him, he
takes his beating like the best child
actor in Hollywood. Even when the
story has tendencies to veer too strong
ly toward the sentimental side, he
apparently knows what to do where
the writers were insure. It is a per-
formance that would make an even
less worthy film a thing meriting your
attention.
MOT because he is within 10 leagues
as good an actor, but rather be-
cause he has eyes and voice to break
your heart, young Kilburn comes close
to stealing the picture from its princi-
pals. 1t is kind of Dopey-the- dwarf
part, with touches of Pagliacci, that
this newest of English child actors
plays and he turns it into a very sue
cessful assault upon all the emotions
from laughter to tears.
Next most sympathetic role is that
played by Mickey Rooney. He is the
honor student of the school-of all
things for him to be-and as such it
is his task to give Freddie that fine,
kindly working over that will lure him
back into the world of honorable men,
most honorable Of whom seem to be
candidates for the merchant marine
registered at Russel-Cotes. Part of
the working over requires that Rooney
shall battle it out with Freddie, as
nicely staged fight as Mike Jacobs
never had part in.
The crook angle of the piece, which
makes the melodrama, is never allowed
to become lost, although, offhand, 1t
seems like difficult task to keep
merchant marine schooling and So
ciety burglary in the same groove.
The crooks are George Zucco (whom

your having heard it before
This time Mr.. Young and Mr.. Ame-
che are couple of lads who run a
fish cannery in New Orleans and their
pop (played by William Collier, sr.)
is a fellow who falls for a French
singer y-clept Josette. When Josette
comes to New Orleans to work the boys
send papa to New York and prepare
to reason with the chanteuse. Only
pop pulls fast one, takes Josette with
him, and a little wardrobe mistress
named Simone Simon steps in to sing
and save the show, thus reversing the
old process, the unknown here getting
her break in the first reel instead of
the last. But this does not stop the
picture there.
Anyhow, If you can't write the script
from this point, where the two sons
go to work on the wrong Josette, you
have not been attending class. Mr..
Young is the happy-go-luck brother,
Mr.. Ameche the serious one. Fill out

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
A DEAL. At STAKE

| There Is more 1T stake next Tuesday than the
mere casting of ones ballot to vote for a certain
man whom one would like to in office. It may
, prove to be memorable event insofar South
! Carolina is concerned inasmuch it may deter
nine whether the people have decided that they
are capable of refecting over the merits of the
various candidates aud making their own choice,
or whether they admit that they are incapable of
making such choice and turn to other man
for his views as to who should be elected.
In visiting the polls next Tuesday each voter
should bear in mind the capabilities of the various
candidates. This is true, whether he casting
our votes for magistrates commissioners or repre-
sentativeS or for candidates for the United States
senate.
We have had our say along this line It is up to
the voters to determine what they propose to do
about it. The editor of the Gaffney Ledger comes
forward with some interesting remarks that are
we'll worth reading just before election time:
When President Roosevelt sets out to encom
pass the defeat of members of congress who har.
opposed some Of his recommendations in the past
he is attempting to establish personal control over
the legislative branch of the government.
"If he gains domination of the Legislative de
partment. he can have passed laws which will give
him control of the judiciary. Then the government
of the United States will be Mr.. Roosevelt in per
it would have been had his supreme
court packing bill been enacted.
Nov if the Democratic citizens of South Caro-
lima Georgia. Maryland and New York vote to
defeat Senator f. d. Smith. Senator Walter F,
George, Senator Willard Tydings, and Congressman
O'Connor, as President Roosevelt has asked them
to do. it will be tantamount to surrenderine the
government of the United Ctates into the hands Of
one man-Frauklin Delano Roosevelt.
thereafter there will be no need to hold cleo
tons When the term of an incumbent senator
OF congressman expires. Just ask Mr.. Roosevelt
whom he wants to hold the rubber stamp in Wash
ngton.
president Roosevelt has brought about the ex-
sting situation himself.
"He has demanded of the people: Send to Wash
ugton senators and congressman who will do my
bidding
What some South CarolinianS want are SEN
ators and congressman who will serve the interests
of the people while at the time they jealousy
guard and preserve the liberty of the people.
Hundred per centers and yes men may suit Mr..
Roosevelt but prefer who will use their
own minds even though they may sometimes make
errors. "-Newbery IS. c. Observer.
