Laughton's other picture in which
he commanded vessel was "Mutiny

title role.
william Kidd, privateer and
pirate in the latter part of the 18th
century, has always had a strong
hold on the imaginations of young
and old by reason of the reports
of buried treasure and his colorful
career. In 1891 he received an
award of $50 English pounds from
the Council of New York for his
services during the disturbances In
the colony, and was commissioned
to chase a hostile privateer of the
coast. He served against the French
in the West Indies and in 1896
came to London with trading
sloop of his own. He next received
the Kings commission to arrest and
bring to trial all pirates, and fol
this purpose sailed to Madagascar
Instead of pursuing pirates, he
turned pirate and plundered on the
coast of Malabar. After three years
of piratical life, he was apprehended
brought to trial in London and ex-

In 1t Is keen indeed.
What all this is leading to is the
fact that Swiss Family Robinson"
definitely is a writer's picture. 1t is
the first production of that oddly
named the Plays the Thing Produc-
tions, leading spirits of which are
Gene Towne and Graham Baker,
heretofore famed as the wackiest
writing team west of the Far East.
On the score that writer's were the
most fouliy used artists in the
cinema, no other pair has been
louder and funnier than Towne and
Baker. In deciding to produce
"Swiss Family Robinson" they
stopped being loud and funny in
favor of a deadly seriousness to
prove that writing really is the i'm
portant thing, and that a we'll
written script can be successful
