Robert Gordon declares that his! role of Keith Burton in "Dawn" is his favourite. Keith is an artist who loses his sight, and when it came to, registering emotion without being able to use his eyes, young Gordon discovered just how big a part the eyes play in expression. Every min- ute he had to remember bis part. Not ese could be relax, for he had always to keep the expression of his eyes blank and without animation.

Don't like Serials, eh ?.
No more did we-till we saw
"
PIRATE GOLD "
and then we knew that we should have to break through our rule of
NO SERIALS AT THE CORONET
First, "Pirate Gold" is only 10 episodes: so that if, against all our anticipations, interest should begin to flag we can finish it off in-one programme, any time after the second instalment.
泸
Secondly, "Pirate Gold" is comedy serial; the producer having put more gentle "leg-pulling" into the first two episodes than we ever saw in a six reel comedy.
Thirdly, Pirate Gold" is directed, staged and cast as well
as any special production we can call to mind. Fourthly, "Pirate Gold" with its school boy story, its breathless 'scapes, its parodying of other serial pictures and its mystifying suspense, is a distinct change and "Variety is the Soul of the Cinema”
